If you love Big Macs, you’re going to love this low carb Big Mac Salad! We tend to eat this in the summer because we love burgers but it is a lighter version over a bed of lettuce. Really, it would be okay in winter with the burger served warm too!
We usually don’t need a side with this meal but you could serve with berries for some extra fiber and a sweet treat at the end of the meal!
Big Mac Salad
If you are meal prepping for the week, you may want to keep the meat separate and heat it up before eating. I also keep the cheese separate so it doesn't get soggy from the tomato and pickles. You can cut down on your tupperware if you don't mind eating it cold.
