Have you ever craved a Big Mac but wanted something a little lighter? This Big Mac Salad is the perfect solution! Combining all of the legendary flavors of the iconic burger, this dish offers a fresh twist that makes it not only satisfying but also a healthier alternative.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb ground beef, preferably lean
1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup pickles, chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking.
Drain excess fat to keep the salad light and healthy.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the Big Mac dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, and red onion.
Add the cooked ground beef to the salad mixture and toss gently to combine.
Drizzle the Big Mac dressing over the salad and toss again to ensure everything is coated evenly.
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
