Print Recipe

A keto-friendly version of the classic Big Mac, this salad features juicy ground beef, crisp lettuce, cheddar cheese, pickles, and a creamy homemade Big Mac sauce. All the flavors you love, without the carbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chopped lettuce (iceberg, romaine, or butter lettuce)
  • 1/4 cup onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon onions, finely diced (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickles, chopped (for sauce)
  • 1/2 cup real mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon granulated monk fruit sweetener

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, unsweetened ketchup, monk fruit sweetener, diced onions, and chopped pickles for the sauce. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  3. Divide the chopped lettuce among four salad bowls. Top each with the cooked beef, onions, pickles, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and bacon bits if using.
  4. Drizzle the Big Mac sauce over each salad and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use sugar-free ketchup and pickles to keep the carb count low. The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Adjust seasoning to taste for a more authentic Big Mac flavor.
