1 cup (chopped) of Cucumber, Lettuce and Carrot Salad (120 g) has 30 calories. That works out to 25 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.2 g of carbs, 1.3 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 420 µg of Vitamin A covers 47% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Cucumber, Lettuce and Carrot Salad combines crisp acur—a mild, cucumber-like melon commonly eaten in Turkey—with lettuce and carrot. Acur is often enjoyed fresh in summer or pickled; in this simple salad, its juicy crunch balances the softer leaves and sweet, finely cut carrot.
Serve it alongside grilled food, beans or other Turkish home-cooked dishes, or make it part of a light lunch. The salad is low in calories and provides fibre, vitamin C and provitamin A. A squeeze of lemon and a modest drizzle of olive oil keep the dressing fresh and light; it also pairs well with a spoonful of plain yoghurt.
