Ingredients
"Big Mac" in a Bowl Ingredients
- 4-8 cooked vegan burger patties the ones I use are thin so I use 2 per person
- 6 cups shredded lettuce like Romaine or Iceberg
- 1/3 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese I used VioLife
- 2 medium tomatoes chopped
- 1/3 cup diced white onion
- chopped or sliced pickles
- ketchup and mustard
Hamburger Bun Croutons
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 big pinches kosher salt
- 2 big pinches black pepper
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil or melted vegan butter
- 2 tsp sesame seeds optional
Vegan Burger Sauce
- 4 tbsp vegan mayo
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp water optional
Instructions
Make the Burger Sauce
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients except the water in a bowl and mix well. If the vegan mayo you're using is very thick you can add 1-2 tsp of water to thin it out if desired. Mix well and set aside. Tip: I sometimes do 1/2 vegan mayo, 1/2 plain unsweeteend almond milk yogurt to make this dressing and it works well too.
Hamburger Bun Croutons
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the hamburger buns into cubes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and spices and then toss to coat. Transfer to a cookie sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown and crispy. About 5 minutes.
Assemble
- Divide the lettuce bwteen 4 bowls. Top with the warm burger patty, vegan cheese, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and Hamburger Bun Croutons. Drizzle generously with ketchup and mustard and top with a dollop of Vegan Burger Sauce. Enjoy!
