In a bowl add:
- Cauliflower rice (or cooked brown rice)
- Shredded romaine lettuce
- Cherry tomatoes
- Diced onions
This creates the fresh base of the bowl.
3. Add the Beef
Spoon the hot cooked ground beef over the salad mixture.
The warmth slightly softens the lettuce and blends flavors.
4. Add Toppings
Sprinkle:
- Reduced-fat shredded cheddar
- Dill pickle slices
These recreate the classic Big Mac taste.
5. Drizzle the Sauce
Spoon the light Big Mac sauce over the top of the bowl.
Toss gently or leave layered.

Storage
