Low Carb Big Mac Salad
This Keto salad is inspired by a classic Big Mac®, bringing all the flavors minus the carby guilt!

You can find the recipe for this in our sides section.
Can I Eat Burgers on a Keto Diet?
As one of the most popular meals worldwide, burgers are a firm family favorite. Although a burger is traditionally served in a carb-heavy bun, there are many adaptations you can make that allow you to enjoy all the flavors of a burger without the carbs. Low carb burgers are commonly served in lettuce wraps or mushroom buns, but for this Keto recipe we have broken down the components of our favorite burger and added them to a deliciously filling lunch salad.
Is Burger Sauce Keto?
We have used a Keto take on a classic Thousand Island dressing to dress our burger salad. Our low carb version of this traditional burger sauce can be found in our sides section. Alternatively, you may use any Keto compliant dressing you wish, such as a low carb tomato or BBQ sauce. You can find an array of sauce choices in our sides section. Please be sure to factor any changes made into your macros. Please note the salad prep time does not include the time to make the burger sauce.
