Ingredients
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

Instructions
- 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.
- Make a big mac sauce: whisk all the ingredients in a medium bowl.
- 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.
