Salad is a versatile dish often composed of fresh vegetables like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers, sometimes combined with protein-rich ingredients such as grilled chicken, eggs, legumes, or nuts. Originating from Mediterranean cuisine, salads have evolved globally with variations like Caesar, Greek, and Cobb. They are typically dressed with olive oil-based vinaigrettes, creamy dressings, or simple citrus-based blends. Salads are a nutrient powerhouse, offering vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants essential for overall health. Leafy greens are low in calories and rich in folate, while toppings like nuts or avocados provide healthy fats. However, certain dressings and add-ons like croutons or bacon can elevate calories and sodium, making moderation key. Whether served as a side dish or a main course, salads offer endless possibilities for flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
