1 serving (medium) of Mixed season salad (120 g) has 38 calories. That works out to 32 calories per 100 g. It contains 6.1 g of carbs, 1.7 g of protein, 0.6 g of fat and 2.6 g of fiber.

Mixed season salad is a flexible combination of fresh vegetables chosen for the time of year, rather than a dish with one fixed recipe or place of origin. This version brings together crisp lettuce and white and purple cabbage with carrot, cucumber, tomato and parsley. The exact mix can change with what is available.
Its freshness and crunch make it an easy side for everyday meals, from grilled dishes to sandwiches, or a light lunch with bread. The vegetables contribute fibre while keeping the salad low in calories. Dress it simply with lemon and a little olive oil, adding the dressing just before serving so the leaves and cabbage stay crisp.

A mixed season salad commonly combines lettuce, white or purple cabbage, carrot, cucumber, tomato and parsley. The exact mix changes with the season and what is fresh; you can add radish, sweet pepper or spring onion without changing the salad’s basic character.
To make a mixed season salad, wash the vegetables and dry them thoroughly, then shred the cabbage and lettuce and slice the other vegetables. Toss them together just before serving, so the cut tomato and cucumber do not soften the greens.
A lemon-and-olive-oil dressing suits a mixed season salad particularly well. Whisk it with a little salt, or add a small splash of vinegar for extra sharpness; dress the salad just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
Yes, you can prep a mixed season salad the night before, but store the washed, thoroughly dried vegetables undressed in a covered container in the refrigerator. Keep juicy tomatoes separate if possible, and add them with the dressing shortly before serving.
Keep a mixed season salad crisp by drying the greens completely and waiting to add salt and dressing until serving. Store the cut vegetables cold in a covered container; moisture left on the leaves and early salting both make them wilt faster.
Undressed mixed season salad is best eaten within about a day when refrigerated in a sealed container. Once dressed, it tends to turn watery and lose its crunch quickly, so serve leftovers promptly rather than keeping them for several days.
Mixed season salad gets watery when salt draws moisture from the vegetables or when cut tomato and cucumber release their juices. Add salt and dressing at the last moment, and drain or pat dry washed vegetables before assembling.
Yes, red cabbage can replace some or all of the lettuce in mixed season salad, though it makes the bowl crunchier and less delicate. Slice it very thinly; a brief toss with lemon juice can soften its texture and mellow its raw bite.
Mixed season salad pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, kebabs, beans and grain-based meals. Its crisp, tangy vegetables balance richer mains, and it can also be served alongside a sandwich or baked potato for a lighter meal.
Mixed season salad can fit a weight-loss meal because its vegetables add volume and fibre without making the dish heavy. Keep creamy or oil-rich dressing portions modest, and pair the salad with a filling protein source rather than relying on it alone.
