This recipe is called “Big Mac Salad” and it’s the only way I’m eating a Big Mac from now on!
Does anyone else have those cravings for something indulgent, but your mind is telling you to stick to your greens? I’ve got you covered with a nostalgic twist on a classic that you can whip up in no time: the Big Mac Salad. This dish brings all the iconic flavors of the beloved fast-food burger to a fresh, fun salad.
It’s perfect when you’re looking for that fast-food fix without ditching the nutrition.
I started making this when I began my journey to eat healthier but just couldn’t shake off those cravings for a big ol’ burger.
Plus, it’s a total win for meal prepping and those busy weeknights.
Big Mac Salad is super filling on its own, but if you’re looking to round out your meal, I’d suggest pairing it with some baked sweet potato fries or a light, creamy cucumber salad for that extra veggie boost.
It also goes great with some toasted whole-grain garlic bread if you’re feeling a bit extra!
