Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium/high heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Let the beef settle and cook for a minute or two, then break into bite-sized chunks with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic powder and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook the beef through completely until well browned all over. Remove from the skillet and set to one side to cool.
Step 2
While the beef is cooking you can prepare the salad base. Roughly chop the lettuce, thinly slice the tomato, onion and dill pickles. Add the chopped vegetables to a large salad or serving bowl. Toss together to combine.
Step 3
Arrange the cooled beef over the top of the salad. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top. Drizzle over the salad dressing. Lightly toss the salad, mixing the beef and cheese with the vegetables and dressing. Divide into four individual bowls to serve.
