BIG MAC SALAD

My husband is not vegan and prefers iceberg lettuce in his salads so he gave this salad a definite thumbs up. I put in too much lettuce which threw off the "Big Mac" illusion so next time will reduce it. Ingenious concept by "Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures" for those vegans missing that terribly unhealthy Big Mac at McDonald's.

You can find the recipe here at “Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures”: VEGAN BIG MAC SALAD. The only thing I did differently was reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp in the dressing and use a 15 oz can of lentils which had no added sodium. I want to clarify that for the dressing, “ground mustard” is powdered mustard, not prepared mustard.

What's wrong with an actual Big Mac? You can check McDonald's nutritional information which sadly includes 550 calories, 30 grams of fat and 1010 mg sodium: Big Mac Nutritional Information

The "Blue Zones" are the areas of the world where the longest living people live. What is common to all of the Blue Zones is that they eat legumes. Lentils are legumes. You can read more here: The World’s #1 Longevity Food
