The Best Vegan Big Mac (McDonald's Copycat Recipe)

This Vegan Big Mac is a total game-changer! It's my take on the iconic McDonald's burger, and it's seriously delicious. Think juicy patties, tangy sauce, crisp lettuce, and melty vegan cheese - all those classic Big Mac flavours and textures, but made with plants. It's a bit of a project, but trust me, it's worth the effort. Get ready for a Big Mac experience that's even better than the original!
