About Leafy salads
Leafy salads are a versatile dish made primarily with fresh greens such as lettuce, spinach, kale, or arugula, often accompanied by vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. Popular worldwide, they are a staple in cuisines from Mediterranean to American. Ingredients and dressings can vary widely, allowing them to complement almost any meal. Nutritionally, leafy salads are low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and other beneficial nutrients. They promote digestion, support a healthy immune system, and contribute to hydration due to their high water content. However, the health benefits can be diminished by high-calorie additions like creamy dressings, cheese, or fried toppings. Opting for lighter dressings and fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients ensures maximum health benefits, making leafy salads a refreshing and wholesome choice for any diet.
