Serves: 1

INGREDIENTS:

• 5oz. lean ground beef patty, grilled or prepared in the skillet.
• Large mixed spinach and shredded cabbage salad.
• Yogurt Dressing (about 1/2 cup).

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook the Lean Ground Beef Patty:
   • Grill the lean ground beef patty on a preheated grill or cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the patty until it reaches your desired level of doneness, usually about 3-4 minutes per side for medium.
2. Prepare the Mixed Spinach and Shredded Cabbage Salad:
   • In a large bowl, combine mixed spinach and shredded cabbage. You can adjust the ratio of the greens to your preference.
3. Make the Yogurt Dressing:
   • Prepare the Yogurt Dressing by whisking together the yogurt with your desired seasonings. You can add herbs like dill, chives, or parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4. Toss Salad with Yogurt Dressing:
   • Pour about 1/2 cup of the Yogurt Dressing over the mixed spinach and shredded cabbage in the salad bowl.
   • Toss the salad until the dressing is evenly distributed and coats the greens.
5. Serve:
   • Place the cooked lean ground beef patty on a serving plate.
   • Serve the Large Mixed Spinach and Shredded Cabbage Salad alongside the beef patty, or on a separate plate.
   • You can drizzle any remaining Yogurt Dressing over the beef patty or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce for the beef.
