Ingredients

For the Big Mac Sauce:

  • cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup chopped Dill Pickles
  • 4 teaspoon Allulose
  • 2 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon Yellow Mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

For The Salad:

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder Optional
  • 6 Cups Chopped Lettuce Romaine or Iceberg
  • cup Sliced Red Onion
  • ½ cup Sliced Pickles
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Tomatoes Optional

Instructions

Big Mac Sauce:

  • Measure all of the ingredients into a mini food processor, blitz a few times to combine and break up the pickles a bit.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. Will keep for a week or so.

Salad Assembly:

  • Measure olive oil into a large nonstick pan.
  • Add ground beef, pepper, salt, and onion/garlic powder (if using) to the pan, breaking up and mixing everything together.
  • Cook over medium heat until beef is browned and cooked through.
  • While beef is cooking, assemble your salads:
  • Divide lettuce between 4 bowls. Top with shredded cheese, sliced pickles, onion, and tomatoes - if using.
  • Once beef is ready, drain and divide it between the salads.
  • Drizzle with the Big Mac dressing and garnish with sesame seeds, serve immediately.

Notes

The nutritional information includes the entire batch of dressing, which is definitely more than you'll need for 4 servings.
So, don't freak out too much at the fat number - just go easy on the dressing if fat is an issue for you. Remember, it's mostly mayo!
