If you’re keto and are missing Big Macs, have I got the perfect Big Mac Salad and Big Mac Sauce recipe for you! Super easy and let me tell you–it tastes EXACTLY like the real thing. Except, of course, this low carb hamburger salad is actually good for you. Homemade Keto Fast food is an excellent choice, if you ask me.
HOW TO MAKE A KETO BIG MAC SALAD
1.First, gather the ingredients for your salad.
2. Get the ground beef browning
4. While the ground beef browns, put together the sauce. Start by mixing the mustard, mayo, and vinegar.
5. Dice onions and pickles that will get added to the sauce.
6. Season the ground beef.
7. Assemble the Big Mac Salad. Start with lettuce at the bottom. Add cheese, then add ground beef. Top with onions and pickles. Put the dressing on.
At this point, you can either toss the salad (as in, MIX it, not toss it into the trash obviously!) or save like this for a while. Since the dressing is sitting on top, it won’t make your lettuce all soggy and wilty.
That’s it! Eat. Enjoy.

WHAT IS IN A BIG MAC SAUCE?
Well, now. Isn’t that a huge secret?
Full disclosure–I used to have McDonalds (r) as a client. But they did not give me their secret recipe
So I have no real idea what’s in the McDonald’s Sauce Recipe. But I can tell you that whatever it is I cobbled together tastes EXACTLY like McDonald’s secret sauce!
IS BIG MAC SAUCE THE SAME AS THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING?
I know a lot of people wonder if McDonald’s Big Mac Sauce is exactly like Thousand Island Dressing.
Based on my experiment, I don’t think it is. This keto Big Mac Sauce has far fewer ingredients than Thousand Island, which is good. Less is better as far as I’m concerned.
WHAT DOES THIS LOW CARB HAMBURGER SALAD TASTE LIKE?
Like a big mac.
No, really! It does! It’s been so long since I’ve had a big Mac that I asked my friend Jennifer to taste test it. And then, hundreds and hundreds of people made it and they all agree–it tastes just like a Big mac.
I mean, what’s not to love? Not only does it taste just like a Big Mac, but it’s homemade, low carb, keto–and best of all, the various componenents can be made ahead of time.
Anytime you can have homemade food that’s essentially like Keto Fast food – I’m voting for that.
CAN I FREEZE THIS SALAD?
Nope, you can’t. That lettuce would just absolutely die if you did that. You CAN, however, make up the meat and the dressing ahead of time.
The dressing will keep for a week in your refrigerator if you cover it well.
MASON JAR BIG MAC SALAD
I ate this salad straight from the fridge. You would think cold ground beef wouldn’t taste that good, right?
It was actually MOST EXCELLENT. So one thing you could do is turn this low carb Big Mac Salad into a Mason Jar Salad and take it for lunch.
The attached video shows you how to do this. But basically layer in exactly this order: Lettuce, Cheese, Ground Beef, Onions, Pickles, Big Mac Sauce Dressing
Then, when you’re ready for your Keto Big Mac, either shake up that jar well, or just tip everything into a bowl and enjoy.
TIPS FOR MAKING BIG MAC SALAD
The sauce will keep for at least a week in the fridge so make double–or quadruple! Not only does it get better with time, but it also works well with a variety of salads and grilled meats. Great for dipping grilled chicken as well.
Use lean ground beef for this so you don’t have a greasy mess in your salad.
I used plain yellow mustard for this.
You can make a layered salad in a mason jar, and take it to work.
If you’re struggling with missing that fast food, this Big Mac Salad with hit the spot and satisfy those cravings.

I’m Geri and I’m 46 years old. I’d like to tell a personal story that I know will resonate with you..It’s a story about how my brother’s breakthrough fat burning protocol made my mother-in-law jealous—and ultimately saved my life. I tried it all. Living on 1,000 calories a day Diet pills that made me feel like I was strung out on speed Pounding away on the treadmill for hours Eating many salads such that I was the rabbit food queen But none of those things—not ONE—ever helped me lose weight. I guess I finally gave up. It’s just part of getting older , I told myself. I stuck the bathroom scale in my closet and there it stayed. Collecting dust, year after year. I wasn’t happy. But I figured happiness was just one <em>more</em> thing you gave up after age 40. Like intimacy in marriage… I’m basically a shy person, so it’s a little embarrassing to talk about this. But my husband and I hadn’t had sex for quite some time. I felt like he didn’t even see me...
