A healthier, deconstructed version of the classic Big Mac, served as a fresh salad bowl with seasoned beef, crisp veggies, cheese, pickles, and Big Mac sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely diced
  • 500 g ground beef (mince beef)
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 gherkins (pickles), sliced
  • 100 g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 portion Big Mac sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry most of the diced onion until softened, reserving a small amount for garnish.
  2. Add the ground beef and garlic granules. Cook for about 5 minutes until the beef is browned.
  3. Stir in the yellow mustard, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sliced pickles, and grated cheddar cheese in serving bowls.
  5. Top with the cooked beef, drizzle with Big Mac sauce, garnish with reserved onion, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Use American cheese slices instead of cheddar for a more authentic Big Mac flavor.
  • Store components separately for meal prep; add sauce just before serving.
  • Cooked beef can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.
