Ingredients
Big Mac Sauce
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp dill pickle relish
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 2 tsp sweetener optional
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet, add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high heat until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
- Make the Big Mac Sauce - In a medium bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until combined. For a thinner dressing, add one tablespoon of water and mix well.
- Assemble the Salad: Into a large bowl, add lettuce, chopped tomatoes, dill pickles, onion slices, shredded cheddar cheese, and cooked ground beef. Top with the Big Mac Dressing and toss to combine. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use 85/15 ground beef for flavor without too much grease.
- Drain excess fat after cooking if needed.
- Iceberg lettuce gives the best crunch, but romaine also works.
- Use sugar-free relish and pickles if keeping the recipe keto.
- Make the sauce ahead so the flavors have time to blend.
- For meal prep, store beef, sauce, and vegetables separately.
