This easy low carb Big Mac salad recipe is ready in just 20 minutes! A gluten-free, keto cheeseburger salad like this makes a healthy lunch or dinner.
My low carb Big Mac salad recipe is like a healthier version of rare childhood memories stopping at McDonald’s. That’s probably not much of an impression for most people, but we very rarely ate out when I was growing up. This included everything from gourmet restaurants to fast food, my parents much preferring home cooked meals.
This salad is such a win. If you, like me, crave a good juicy cheeseburger pretty regularly, this is the way to enjoy one for a totally reasonable number of calories while incorporating a whole lot of filling and nutritious veggies! And if you have any picky eaters in your life, who wouldn’t dare touch a salad and love a McDonald’s run, I have a feeling this is the salad that could get them to eat their greens.
Somehow the concept of a bunless burger wasn’t enough. I had to go and brown the ground beef in a pan, along with onions and garlic, just so I could be sure I’d have a bite of burger in every bite of…salad. Is this the point when I should enter therapy?
