The "Big Mac" Deconstructed Salad. A Big Mac consists of "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun". With the exception of the bun, this salad is missing cheese, onion and sesame seeds. Also, Big Macs don't have tomatoes.
Let cool and cut into cubes; set aside. Brown and drain the extra lean ground beef. I've seen a lot of recipes for keto Big Mac salad. You can have The "Big Mac" Deconstructed Salad using 8 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
