A delicious salad inspired by the famous Big Mac, featuring ground beef, fresh veggies, and a special sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- to taste Salt & pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 cups iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup dill pickles, diced
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup Big Mac-style sauce: 1/2 cup mayo, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons relish, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon vinegar
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a big skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir it around until it’s got those lovely brown bits.
- Set the beef aside to cool to ensure your lettuce won’t wilt.
- Chop up your iceberg lettuce and tumble it into a big salad bowl. Scatter the tomatoes, cheese, pickles, and red onions over the top.
- Once the beef’s not hot enough to steam your glasses, sprinkle it over the salad. Give it all a little toss so everything gets to know each other.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, ketchup, relish, mustard, and vinegar to make your special sauce. Taste it and adjust if necessary.
- Drizzle as much dressing as you like over the salad. Toss again, or spoon the dressing on each plate.
- Serve right away with extra pickles on the side if desired.
