Big Mac Salad
This Big Mac Salad is a lighter, protein-packed twist on the fast-food favorite, giving you all the classic flavors without the extra grease and calories. Instead of traditional ground beef, I use lean protein for a healthier base, keeping it just as satisfying. The creamy dressing swaps out mayo for Greek yogurt, adding a boost of protein and gut-friendly probiotics while keeping it rich and tangy. Crisp lettuce, fresh veggies, and a sprinkle of healthy fats like avocado or nuts make this salad both nourishing and delicious. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a nostalgic, indulgent taste—without the guilt! Makes: 4 servings
