1 serving (medium) of Green Salad with Cheese (120 g) has 108 calories. That works out to 90 calories per 100 g. It contains 5.4 g of carbs, 5 g of protein, 6.6 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 144 µg of Vitamin K covers 120% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Green Salad with Cheese combines crisp lettuce and other fresh greens with cucumber, tomato and pieces of cheese. It is a simple, adaptable salad rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and can be made with whatever salad vegetables are fresh and available.
The juicy vegetables and crunchy leaves balance the cheese’s soft texture and savoury flavour. Serve it as a side with lunch or dinner, or make it a light meal with bread. A dressing of olive oil and lemon keeps the flavours bright without masking the fresh ingredients.
The greens contribute fibre and volume, while the cheese adds protein and calcium. For a more filling plate, add beans, chickpeas or a boiled egg; for a lighter one, use a modest amount of cheese and dressing.

Feta is a classic choice for green salad with cheese because its salty, tangy flavour complements fresh vegetables. Mild cheddar, goat cheese, or mozzarella also work; cut firmer cheeses into small cubes.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing suits green salad with cheese without overpowering the ingredients. For a creamier option, use a light yogurt dressing, and taste before adding salt because some cheeses are already salty.
Yes, you can prep green salad with cheese ahead by washing and drying the vegetables and storing them separately from the cheese and dressing. Combine everything just before eating to keep the leaves crisp.

Green salad with cheese pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or a bowl of soup. Serve it alongside bread or roasted vegetables when you want a more substantial lunch or dinner.
Green salad with cheese can make a light meal, but it may need a more substantial protein source to keep you satisfied. Add chickpeas, beans, eggs, or grilled chicken and serve with bread or grains.
Green salad with cheese is best eaten soon after dressing, but undressed leftovers can be refrigerated in a sealed container. Eat them by the next day and discard the salad if the leaves become slimy or smell off.
Green salad with cheese can be a nourishing choice, combining fresh vegetables with cheese for protein and calcium. Its overall balance changes with the amount of cheese and dressing, so add a protein-rich side if it is your main meal.
Green salad with cheese works well with additions such as bell pepper, red onion, olives, or avocado. Choose a few ingredients with contrasting textures rather than adding too many, so the fresh greens and cheese remain noticeable.
