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.

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
