BIG MAC SALAD – CHEESEBURGER SALAD RECIPE
My low carb Big Mac salad recipe is like a healthier version of rare childhood memories stopping at McDonald’s. That’s probably not much of an impression for most people, but we very rarely ate out when I was growing up.
This included everything from gourmet restaurants to fast food, my parents much preferring home cooked meals.

Cook ground beef in a skillet over high heat. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir fry, breaking up the pieces with a spatula, for about 7-10 minutes, until the beef is browned and moisture has evaporated.
Meanwhile, puree all the dressing ingredients in a blender. If dressing is thicker than you like, thin out with water or oil and puree again. Adjust sweetener to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Combine the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add the ground beef. Toss with dressing.
