Lettuce and Tomato Salad is a light and refreshing dish, often enjoyed as a starter or side in many cuisines around the world. Typically composed of crisp lettuce leaves and juicy, ripe tomatoes, it may also include simple additions like cucumbers, onions, or a sprinkle of herbs for added flavor. Originating as a staple in Mediterranean, American, and European diets, this salad highlights freshness and simplicity. It is naturally low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, along with fiber that promotes healthy digestion. The lettuce provides hydration and essential minerals, while tomatoes add antioxidants such as lycopene, known for heart health benefits. With minimal or no dressing, it remains a wholesome choice, but when paired with rich, creamy dressings or excessive toppings like cheese or croutons, the calorie and fat content can climb significantly. For optimal nutrition, opt for a light vinaigrette or lemon juice.
