Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Dill pickles
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup White onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tsp White vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Paprika

Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt and black pepper, cooking until browned and fully cooked (about 7-8 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
While the beef is cooking, prepare the salad base by chopping the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and placing it in a large bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the pickles and white onion, then add them to the bowl with the lettuce. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the dressing.
Once the beef has cooled slightly, add it to the salad bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the top.
Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients together. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Big Mac Salad!
