Hi Allison,

Thank you so much for the burger salad recipe!

For a low-calorie dressing, sometimes I use dill pickle juice, or the juice from Costco marinated artichoke hearts.

I shake up the pickle juice to get the spices off the bottom, then pour a bit over the salad before tossing.

I use a turkey baster to take the oil off the top of the Costco artichoke hearts, to lower the fat content. I also shake up this juice so that the spices come up off the bottom, then pour.

It’s quite tasty.

Thanks for this, Anastasia! Lots of flavor and a great way to use up otherwise wasted liquids. I just caution anyone being mindful of sodium/salt intake because that pickle juice packs a punch!
