Salad Leaves with Balsamic and Oil is a simple yet flavorful dish commonly associated with Mediterranean cuisine. The salad typically features a mix of fresh leafy greens such as arugula, spinach, or mixed lettuces, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while balsamic vinegar adds a tangy, low-calorie flavor. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, the leafy greens contribute to overall health, supporting digestion and boosting immune function. This dish is naturally low in calories and free of added sugars, making it an excellent choice for light meals, side dishes, or a base for additional toppings like nuts or seeds. However, portion control for the oil is important to avoid excess caloric intake. Its simplicity highlights fresh ingredients while offering a nutritious option rooted in the wholesome traditions of Mediterranean eating.
