Ingredients

Salad

1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced pickles sugar-free
1/4 cup diced red onion

Big Mac Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp pickle juice
1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned, about 7–8 minutes.
Assemble salad bowls with romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced pickles, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and paprika to make the Big Mac sauce.
Top each salad with warm seasoned beef and drizzle generously with Big Mac sauce.

Notes

For even more classic flavor, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Adjust the sauce to taste—more pickle juice for tang, or more mayo for creaminess.
