Big Mac Salad – Thrive Low Carb Way!

Does this ever happen to you?  I’ve been working around my house and time got away from me and I realized I was hungry. I’d seen a recipe for a Big Mac Salad from Our Abundant Blessings Blog and pinned it to one of my boards on Pinterest.  It sounded good but I didn’t have any hamburger thawed to make a burger – THRIVE to the rescue again — I love my Thrive Home Store!

Remember the Big Mac jingle?
Well, I’ve made up a new one for the Big Mac Salad,

And don’t need that sesame seed bun!

Look at that wonderful ground beef and cheddar cheese.
This salad has the grape tomatoes cut up and
I love big pieces of onion so I cut one up!
However, both the Thrive Tomato Dices and Onions
