A crunchy Big Mac salad – all the best of a Big Mac served in a bowl with plenty of fresh lettuce and crisp bread croutons.
This main-course salad is very easy to make, and it tastes really good. It often ends up on the table at our house when there is Big Mac dressing left over from earlier in the week. That might be from Big Mac Pizza, Big Mac Burger or Big Mac Wraps.
I almost always make a double batch of my Big Mac dressing, – we love it, and it gives us a good excuse for another “Big Mac meal” during the week 🙂

Method
Big Mac dressing
- Stir the dressing ingredients together and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Keep the dressing in the fridge until you are ready to serve.Note! If you love the dressing as much as I do, just make a little extra.
Big Mac meat
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until translucent.
- Add the mince, season with salt and pepper, and brown it well, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the carrot, green pepper and spices and let it cook over a medium heat for about 5-8 minutes, stirring now and then.
- Turn off the heat, scatter the cheddar over and fold it in gently so the cheese melts. It is fine if it stays a little clumpy – that is part of the appeal.
Big Mac salad
- Mix the lettuces and divide half between 5 bowls.
- Top each bowl with a handful of croutons, half the meat and a little dressing.
- Divide the remaining lettuce between the 4 bowls, then top with the rest of the meat, bread croutons, sliced onion, a little grated cheddar and Big Mac dressing.*It is worth making 1/2 portion extra dressing – it tends to disappear quickly once it is on the table 😉

Har netop lavet retten her til aften. Smager fantastisk. Selv min mand sagde: “Det smager godt!”. Men meget tidkrævende. Jeg brugte halvanden time. Men jeg bruger også lang tid i et køkken. Ikke en ret man skal lave i hverdagen. Tak for mange dejlige opskrifter. Jeg tyer ofte til dine opskrifter, når jeg skal lave mad.
Hej Laila
Ej hvor er det bare dejligt du skriver det – tusind tusind tak 🙂
Tak for de søde ord 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Der er stadig ikke kød i opskriften
Hejsa
Arh, – nu skulle det være der:)

Kødets tilberedning er vist smuttet i farten
Hej Anders
Det lyder mærkeligt, jeg kan sagtens se punktet her – det ligger lige under dressingen 🙂
Sætter lige teksten ind herunder 🙂
Big Mac kød
Varm en smule olie på en pande, og steg løgene af til de er klare.
Tilsæt gulerødderne, peberfrugt og krydderier, – og lad det stege med ved middelvarme i ca. 5-8 minutter, rør undervejs.
Sluk for blusset, hæld cheddarosten over, og vend det let sammen, så osten smelter. Den må gerne ligge lidt i klumper, – det er bare lækkert.

Du har glemt kødet i beskrivelsen
Hejsa
har prøvet at læse denne igennem, men kan ikke se hvor kødet er glemt? 🙂
