Crispy Rice Cheeseburger Salad

This Crispy Rice Cheeseburger Salad has all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger—ground beef, cheddar, tomatoes, and pickles–with a tangy homemade dill pickle ranch (my new favorite dressing), tossed with crisp lettuce and crunchy baked rice. It is a fresh, fork-ready way to enjoy a cheeseburger–no bun required!
