Salad with cucumber and greens is a refreshing dish rooted in various global cuisines, particularly Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions. This simple yet nourishing salad often includes crisp cucumber slices, mixed leafy greens like spinach, arugula, or lettuce, and is often complemented by additional ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, herbs, or lemon juice. Low in calories and high in hydration, cucumbers offer vitamin K, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory benefits, while greens contribute fiber, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. Typically dressed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or a light vinaigrette, it provides heart-healthy fats if consumed in moderation. However, richer dressings or excessive salt can diminish its healthfulness. This salad is versatile and easy to prepare, making it a popular choice for a nutrient-packed side dish or light meal option.
