1 serving (large) of Large Salad (250 g) has 80 calories. That works out to 32 calories per 100 g. It contains 13 g of carbs, 3.8 g of protein, 1 g of fat and 5.5 g of fiber. Its 1050 µg of Vitamin A covers 117% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Large Salad brings together crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onion and olives, usually with a light dressing. It has no single fixed recipe: the mix changes with the season and the cook, and versions like this are familiar across Mediterranean-style menus and home cooking.
The vegetables keep their crunch while tomato adds juiciness and olives bring a pleasantly salty bite. Serve it as a side with grilled fish or other mains, or make it a light lunch with bread or beans. It is mostly vegetables, so it is low in calories and provides fibre; a 100 g portion has 32 calories. For a lighter bowl, use dressing sparingly, or add chickpeas to make it more filling.

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.

A large salad like this usually combines crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper, red onion and black olives. The exact mix varies, but cutting the vegetables into bite-sized pieces helps the dressing coat them evenly.
Keep a large salad crisp by drying the washed vegetables thoroughly and storing the dressing separately. Add the dressing just before serving, and add watery ingredients such as chopped tomatoes at the last minute.
Yes, a large salad can make a full meal if you add a satisfying protein, such as beans, eggs, tuna, chicken or tofu. Lettuce and other raw vegetables alone may not keep you full for long.
A simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing complements the fresh vegetables and olives in a large salad. Whisk it with a little mustard, if you like, and season lightly since olives already bring a salty taste.
An undressed large salad keeps best in a sealed container in the refrigerator and is usually most appealing within a day. Once dressed, it softens quickly, so store any dressing separately and toss only what you plan to eat.
Yes, wash the lettuce and other fresh vegetables for a large salad under clean running water, even if they look clean. Dry the leaves well afterward; lingering water can dilute the dressing and make the salad limp.
To mellow the red onion in a large salad, slice it thinly and soak it briefly in cold water, then drain and dry it. This takes the edge off its sharpness while keeping the onion crisp.
Add chickpeas, lentils, grilled chicken, tuna, eggs or tofu to make a large salad more filling. A protein-rich topping turns the bowl into a more substantial lunch without relying on extra dressing.
A large salad works well beside grilled fish, roasted chicken, soup or a sandwich. It also makes a fresh contrast to richer dishes, while bread or grains alongside it can make the meal more substantial.
Yes, you can prep a large salad ahead by washing and drying the leaves and chopping sturdy vegetables, then refrigerating them separately or in a sealed container. Keep the dressing, tomatoes and delicate toppings apart until serving.
