🥗 Big Mac Salad Ingredients

• 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup tomatoes, chopped
• ½ cup red onion, chopped
• 1 cup sliced pickle chips
• 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• Burger Sauce (see recipe below)

🍳 How to Make It

1. Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook while breaking up the meat with a stiff utensil until fully browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Assemble the Salad

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, shredded cheese, tomatoes, red onion, and pickle chips. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked beef to the bowl, leaving the excess grease behind.

3. Dress It Up

Drizzle with the burger sauce and toss the salad until everything is evenly coated and the lettuce is lightly moistened.
