Lettuce and cucumber salad is a light, refreshing dish often found in various cuisines worldwide, particularly Mediterranean and Western. This simple salad typically combines crisp lettuce leaves and hydrating cucumber slices, sometimes enhanced with olive oil, lemon juice, or a light vinaigrette for extra flavor. Packed with nutrients, lettuce provides fiber, vitamins A and K, while cucumbers are rich in water content, aiding hydration, and contain antioxidants like vitamin C. Low in calories and fat, this salad is an excellent option for weight management and as a nutrient-dense side dish.
