Toss crisp lettuce leaves, cucumber and fresh herbs with a small amount of olive oil and lemon juice just before serving. Drying the greens first helps the dressing cling.
A low-oil green salad commonly combines lettuce, cucumber and fresh herbs such as parsley or dill. You can add scallions, tomato or radishes for extra crunch and flavor.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing suits a low-oil green salad. Whisk the oil with lemon juice, then add it shortly before serving so the lettuce stays crisp instead of wilting.
Keep a low-oil green salad crisp by drying the lettuce thoroughly and storing the dressing separately. Add the dressing only when you are ready to eat, since salt and acid draw moisture from cut vegetables.
Yes, you can wash and dry the lettuce, slice the cucumber and chop the herbs ahead of time. Store them separately or together without dressing, then toss everything shortly before serving.
An undressed low-oil green salad keeps best in a covered container in the refrigerator and should be eaten promptly while the leaves remain crisp. Once dressed, it softens quickly and is best served right away.
A low-oil green salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, beans or a sandwich. Its fresh, lightly dressed leaves provide a crisp contrast to richer main dishes.
Add a protein-rich topping such as chickpeas, a hard-boiled egg, tofu or grilled chicken to make a low-oil green salad more filling. Whole grains can also turn it into a more substantial meal.
Yes, separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them under clean running water, then dry them well before assembling a low-oil green salad. Grit can hide between leaves, and wet greens dilute the dressing.
Yes, you can dress a low-oil green salad with lemon juice or vinegar alone, or mix either with a little water and seasoning. Add the liquid gradually to avoid leaving the greens watery.

Low-oil green salad brings together crisp lettuce and other leafy greens with cucumber and fresh herbs, dressed with just a little oil. It is a simple, familiar salad rather than a fixed recipe: the leaves and herbs can vary with the season, and lemon juice or vinegar often provides a bright finish.
Serve it alongside grilled food, beans, or a sandwich, or enjoy it as a light lunch. Its fresh crunch and modest dressing make it an easy way to add vegetables without a heavy side; it contains 32 calories per 100 g. For a more filling meal, top it with chickpeas or egg, and dress it just before serving so the leaves stay crisp.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
