Creating the Smash Burger Salad Bowl is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
2. Form Patties: Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and form into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms and they reach your desired doneness.
4. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
5. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, add the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, pickles, red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Top with Patties: Slice each cooked patty into strips and layer them on top of the salad.
7. Drizzle Dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
8. Serve Immediately: Divide the salad into bowls and enjoy!
