Ingredients

For the Big Mac Salad

1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1 medium head Romaine lettuce chopped
½ head iceberg lettuce chopped
1½ cups halved grape tomatoes
½ cup thinly sliced red onion
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped dill pickles

For the Secret Sauce Recipe

¾ cup mayonnise
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Stir the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, minced onion, yellow mustard, vinegar, and paprika in a medium bowl.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
In a medium, dry skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame seeds and cook until golden brown and fragrant, shaking the skillet several times. Pour the sesame seeds into a small bowl to stop the cooking process.
Add the lettuce, ground beef mixture, tomatoes, red onion, cheddar cheese, and dill pickles to a large bowl. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat.

Notes

As you can see from the skillet, there is a little chopped onion in the ground beef. I had a little leftover from another recipe that I did not need, so I tossed it in there.
Chop the lettuce into about 1/2 inch wide strips and then chop again in the other direction into large bite-sized pieces.
If preparing ahead of time, use all Romaine lettuce (it will hold up better) and refrain from adding the dressing until ready to serve.
