Ingredients

Big Mac Salad (makes 2 salads)

  • 3 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ¼ cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red onions
  • 2 spears dill pickles, chopped
  • 8 oz ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese

Special Sauce Dressing (makes 12 tablespoons)

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 dill pickle spear, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons French dressing
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Swerve sweetener

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet with Montreal Steak seasoning to get that great burger taste.

  2. Add all the salad ingredients to 2 large bowls.

  3. When finished browning, put the beef on the salads along and then top with the grated cheddar cheese

  4. Top with homemade special sauce dressing or try the very low carb Walden Farms Thousand Island Dressing which has 0 carbs.

To Make the Special Sauce dressing

  1. Finely mince the onion and pickle or put it in a mini food processor to mince.

  2. Add that to a bowl along with the mayo, vinegar, French dressing, salt and Swerve sweetener. Whisk to combine.

  3. If you want it a little thinner, add water 1 tablespoon at a time to get the consistency you want. I just added 1-2 tablespoons.
