    Hungry for a Big Mac but don't want the calories? Try whipping up a light and delicious Cheeseburger salad with Big Mac Sauce Salad Dressing to satisfy your hunger.

    When I started making my cheeseburger salad for dinner tonight, that song just started playing over and over in my head.  We all know that the real secret to McDonald's yummy Big Mac is their special sauce smothered all over the burger. You need a handful of napkins by the time you are finished eating it.

    I was looking for a light version of a Big Mac and came up with the idea of ditching the bun and adding lots of extra lettuce to create a salad.  To make it even healthier I used 90/10 hamburger and low-fat cheese.

    For the Mac Sauce dressing, I used  low carb olive oil mayonnaise as the base for my dressing.  I also used Splenda sweetened pickle relish to save a few calories.  Now if calories don't matter and your just in the mood for a salad by all means use regular mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish.
