Notes
Mason Jar Salads: Layer the dressing on the bottom followed by the beef, onions, pickles, tomatoes, cheese and lettuce. Store in the fridge for 5 days.
Swap out the Big Mac sauce for Thousand Island dressing, French dressing, mustard vinaigrette or Greek dressing.
Make this salad even healthier by using ground turkey instead of ground beef.
Store the salad in the fridge for 2-3 days without dressing, or 1 day with the dressing.
You can store and reheat the ground beef separately if you prefer it warm.
Freeze the ground beef for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then use it to make fresh salads.
