Hey, foodies! 🌟 If you’re obsessed with Big Macs (who isn’t?), but wanna keep it a little lighter,
This Big Mac Salad is your new bestie. It’s like all the yummy burger vibes without the bun.
Plus, it’s so easy, you’ll have it ready in no time!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (the beefier, the better)
- 1 head of lettuce (romaine or iceberg, your call)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (get that cheesy goodness)
- 1/2 cup pickles (sliced, because pickles are life)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup diced onions (red or white, whatever you like)
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved, for that fresh pop)
Directions:
- Cook the beef: Toss that ground beef into a pan and brown it over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper if you like it fancy. Once it’s all cooked, let it cool a bit.
2. Chop the lettuce: While the beef is cooling, chop up your lettuce. You want bite-sized pieces, nothing too crazy big.
3. Assemble the salad: In a big bowl, layer your lettuce, cooled ground beef, shredded cheese, pickles, onions, and cherry tomatoes
4. Drizzle with dressing: Now, take that thousand island dressing and drizzle it all over the top. You can go as light or heavy as you want,
5. Serve: Give everything a good toss so all the flavors mix together. Then, grab a fork and dig in!
Tips & Tricks:
Meal prep: This salad is perfect for meal prep. Just keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat so your lettuce stays fresh and crispy.
Add some crunch: Crumble a few keto-friendly cheese crisps or tortilla chips on top for that extra crunch.
Extra saucy? If you’re feeling saucy, make a double batch of dressing and serve some on the side for dipping!
