Only 4 net carbs per serving.Affordable. Take out not in your budget this week? Make this for a fraction of the price of hitting your nearby fast food drive thru.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Trust me when I say that this secret sauce shouldn’t be a secret at all. It’s so simple to make, everyone loves it, and it’s made with ingredients you likely already have in your fridge. Full disclosure–I used to have McDonalds (r) as a client. But they did not give me their secret recipe. So I have no real idea what’s in the McDonald’s Sauce Recipe. But I can tell you that whatever it is I cobbled together tastes EXACTLY like McDonald’s secret sauce! Based on my experiment, I don’t think it is. This keto Big Mac Sauce has far fewer ingredients than Thousand Island, which is good. Less is better as far as I’m concerned.

What Does This Hamburger Salad Taste Like?

Like a big mac. No, really! It does. It’s been so long since I’ve had a Big Mac that I asked my friend Jennifer to taste test it. And then, hundreds and hundreds of people made it and they all agree–it tastes just like a Big Mac. I mean, what’s not to love? Not only does it taste just like a Big Mac, but it’s homemade, low carb, keto–and best of all, the various components can be made ahead of time. Anytime you can have homemade food that’s essentially like Keto Fast food - I’m voting for that. Here’s what you’ll need to make this tasty Big Mac Salad recipe:

How To Make This Big Mac Salad Recipe

Get the ground beef browning. I used this Le Creuset tarte tatin pan.
While the ground beef browns, put together the Big Mac Sauce. Start by mixing the mustard, mayo, and vinegar.
Dice onions and pickles that will get added to the sauce.
Season the ground beef.
Assemble the Big Mac Salad. Start with lettuce at the bottom. Add cheese, then add ground beef. Top with onions and pickles. Put the dressing on. At this point, you can either toss the hamburger salad (as in, MIX it, not toss it into the trash) or save it like this for a while. Since the dressing is sitting on top, it won’t make your lettuce all soggy and wilt. That’s it! Eat. Enjoy.

Mason Jar Big Mac Salad

I ate this salad straight from the fridge. You would think cold ground beef wouldn’t taste that good, right? It was actually MOST EXCELLENT. So one thing you could do is turn this low carb Big Mac Salad into a Mason Jar Salad and take it for lunch. The attached video shows you how to do this. But basically layer in exactly this order: Lettuce, Cheese, Ground Beef, Onions, Pickles, Big Mac Sauce Dressing Then, when you’re ready for your Keto Big Mac Salad, either shake up that jar well or just tip everything into a bowl, stir, and enjoy.
