Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  3. Add the cooked ground beef to the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
  4. Drizzle the Thousand Island dressing over the salad and toss again until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
