Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ white onion diced (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

  • 4 cups iceberg lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup freshly shredded cheese cheddar or American
  • Dill pickle slices
  • Sesame seeds for topping

For the Big Mac sauce:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon honey

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add a light drizzle of olive oil, ground beef, diced onion (reserve some for topping), salt, and pepper. Break up meat with a spatula and cook 7–10 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, ketchup, relish, mustard, and honey until smooth.
  • Divide shredded lettuce between bowls. Top with beef, cheddar cheese, pickle slices, extra raw onion, a drizzle of Big Mac sauce, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let the beef cool slightly so that it is warm but not hot before assembling bowls. This helps prevent the lettuce from wilting.
  • Store ground beef, lettuce, toppings, and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge. If stored separately each component lasts 3-4 days.
  • Once combined, this salad bowl should be eaten within 24 hours.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free & low-carb.
