Ingredients

Servings

Big Mac Salad

  • 1 pound ground beef 85-90%
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup red onion sliced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup tomato optional, diced
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles (sliced or diced)

For The Big Mac Sauce:

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon dill pickles or pickle relish, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (or French/Thousand Island Dressing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Cook beef: Add the beef to a large pan and brown over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, smashing the beef to crumble. Add the onion, salt & pepper and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the onion is softened and the beef is browned, cooked through and slightly crispy.
  2. Make a big mac sauce: whisk all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
  3. Assemble: Divide the lettuce into 4 bowls, top each bowl with ¼ the browned beef, onion, cheese, tomato and pickled. Drizzle with big mac sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitutions: You can swap the ground beef for ground chicken, ground turkey or any other ground beef that you like. 
  • Topping Ideas: Add your favorite toppings like jalapenos, avocados, sour cream, or roasted veggies.
