Vegetable salad is a nutrient-rich dish that combines fresh, raw, or lightly cooked vegetables, often including lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, and onions. Common additions like olive oil, lemon juice, or vinegar serve as light dressings, enhancing flavor without excessive calories. Originating from various cuisines worldwide, salads are particularly associated with Mediterranean diets, known for their health benefits. Packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, vegetable salads promote healthy digestion, support immunity, and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Low in calories and naturally fat-free (unless dressed), they are ideal for weight management. However, some versions include high-calorie toppings like cheese, croutons, or creamy dressings, which can diminish their nutritional profile if consumed excessively. Versatile and customizable, vegetable salads are a cornerstone of healthy eating and provide an easy way to incorporate more vegetables into daily meals.
