Big Mac Salad Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 small onion diced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 cups iceberg lettuce
- 2 tsp granulated garlic or to taste
- 2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp ground black pepper or to taste
- 1/2 cup dill pickles sliced
- sesame seeds
Big Mac Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp dill relish
- 2 tsp mustard
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp sugar free ketchup
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- First, start by making the Big Mac sauce. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, mustard, dill relish, onion powder and paprika. Set aside for now.
- Season the ground beef with salt, pepper and granulated garlic.
- Cook the beef in a large pan over medium heat until it browns. This will probably take about 10-12 minutes. Use a meat chopper to break the meat up into large chunks. Once you’re finished cooking the ground beef, drain the excess fat.
- Chop the lettuce, onion and pickles.
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef, lettuce, diced onion, pickle slices and cheese.
- Drizzle the salad with big mac sauce and toss to combine.
- Top the salad with sesame seeds if desired and serve.
Notes
- Use keto friendly ketchup for this recipe. This one works well.
- I used cheddar cheese for this recipe but that can be substituted for any other cheese of your choice.
- Top the ground beef with cheese immediately when serving if you want the cheese to melt a little over the salad.
