A side salad is a light, versatile dish typically served as an accompaniment to a main meal. Commonly found in Western cuisine, it usually includes a base of fresh greens like lettuce, spinach, or arugula, along with an assortment of vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and onions. Some variations may include toppings like croutons, cheese, or nuts and are often dressed with vinaigrettes or creamy dressings. Side salads are a low-calorie, nutrient-rich option, packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber that promote digestion and overall health. However, the nutritional value can vary depending on the added toppings and dressings, as some can be high in fats, sugars, and sodium. Opting for lighter dressings and whole food ingredients can keep it a heart-healthy choice while enhancing its natural flavors. Perfect as a refreshing starter or side dish, side salads bring balance and vibrancy to any meal.
