How to make a Big Mac Salad:

**scroll all the way down for full ingredient list and printable directions**

• Make the big mac sauce and place it in the fridge to meld while cooking everything else. The recipe can be found HERE.
• Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a medium/large skillet until it’s totally cooked through. 
  • I prefer a high sided skillet so the grease doesn’t splash out, like this one. 
• While the ground beef is cooking, prep the vegetables.
  • Chop the lettuce, onions, dill pickles, and tomatoes. Have the cheese ready as well.
• Strain any fat away from the cooked beef, then make the salad!
• Using a large bowl, add lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles, cheese, beef, and drizzle the copycat Big Mac Sauce over the top!
