02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, French dressing, distilled white vinegar, and dill pickle relish until smooth. Set aside.

Arrange chopped romaine lettuce evenly among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with diced red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, dill pickle slices, and shredded cheddar cheese.
04 -
Evenly distribute the slightly cooled ground beef over the salads.
05 -
Spoon Big Mac dressing generously over each salad and toss gently to combine.
06 -
Garnish salads with desired optional toppings such as bacon, feta cheese, or jalapeño slices before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Let ground beef cool for a few minutes before adding to the lettuce to prevent wilting.

Store the salad, beef, and dressing separately for meal prep; combine just before serving.

Any burger-style toppings can be added to personalize each salad bowl.
