A delicious Low Carb Keto Big Mac Salad that combines the flavors of a classic Big Mac in a healthier format, perfect for keto dieters.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 dill pickles (sliced)
- 1/2 cup onion (minced)
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 tsp sesame seeds (or everything bagel seasoning)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp low carb pickle relish (or chopped pickle with juice)
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/4 tsp monk fruit (increase if using chopped pickle for the relish)
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt (or garlic powder + salt)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until fragrant, then add the seasoned ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the pan if necessary.
- Make the Special Sauce: While the beef cooks, mix together the mayonnaise, pickle relish, ketchup, yellow mustard, monk fruit, garlic salt, and onion powder in a small bowl. This creamy mixture will add the essential Big Mac sauce flavor to your salad.
- Assemble: Once your beef is cooked and slightly cooled, start layering your salad. First, place the chopped iceberg lettuce at the base. Next, layer the cooked beef on top, followed by the shredded cheese, dill pickles, and minced onion. Finally, pour the special sauce over the assembled ingredients and sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
Notes
For optimal freshness, store individual components separately and mix just before serving. Experiment with different toppings and spice levels in the special sauce for an added kick.
