Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Big Mac Salad
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, white vinegar, yellow mustard, and dill relish until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned.
  3. In a large serving bowl, begin layering your Keto Big Mac Salad with the chopped lettuce, followed by the cooked ground beef, diced onion, pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Drizzle your creamy dressing generously over the assembled salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Let the salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
