Amanda Formaro's video: Big Mac Salad

Skip the drive-through and make yourself a healthier alternative, a Big Mac salad! This low-carb, keto-friendly cheeseburger salad is loaded with the same ingredients as its burger cousin and is just as satisfying with a copycat Big Mac sauce as the dressing. RECIPE & INSTRUCTIONS HERE - https://amandascookin.com/big-mac-salad/ Ingredients Salad 1 pound ground beef thawed salt and pepper to taste 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 cup red onion thinly sliced 1 head romaine lettuce chopped 1/2 head iceburg lettuce chopped 1 cup dill pickles sliced or chopped 1 cup cheddar cheese grated 1 cup tomatoes diced Big Mac Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 3 Tablespoons ketchup 1/8 cup sweet pickle relish 2 teaspoons yellow mustard 1 Tablespoon onion finely minced 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice white vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be substituted 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 Tablespoon red onion finely minced Instructions Crumble ground beef into a skillet and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Brown over medium heat until no pink remains. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool. In a small bowl, whisk together Big Mac sauce ingredients until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to toss with salad. In a large salad bowl, mix together cooled ground beef, red onion, lettuces, pickles, cheese, and tomatoes. Drizzle Big Mac sauce over the salad and toss everything to combine. Serve immediately. Notes You can use bottled thousand island dressing instead of making it homemade if preferred. Easily halve the recipe to make 4 servings. Store this salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The lettuce will wilt after being tossed with the dressing. The ground beef can be cooked up to 2 days ahead of time. The vegetables can be chopped a day ahead of time and the sauce can be prepared up to 5 days in advance. You may have extra Big Mac sauce. I would recommend adding half, tossing the salad, and then gauging how much more sauce to add. The sauce will develop its flavors overnight and can be made in advance. The sauce is quite tasty as soon as it is mixed though and can be used right away. The quantities of the salad ingredients can be adjusted to taste. I like thinly sliced red onion so that the flavor isn’t overpowering. The tomatoes add some nice sweet balance to the other traditional Big Mac ingredients.
