A lettuce, tomato, cucumber and cheese salad combines washed, dried lettuce with sliced tomato and cucumber, plus crumbled or cubed cheese. Add dressing just before serving so the vegetables stay crisp.
Feta or another crumbly, salty cheese works well in salad because it contrasts with cool cucumber and juicy tomato. Use a milder cheese if you want the vegetables’ flavor to stand out.
A simple dressing for salad is olive oil mixed with lemon juice or vinegar. Pour it over the vegetables just before serving; taste first, since salty cheese may mean you need little or no added salt.
No, dress salad just before serving. Salt and acidic ingredients draw moisture from lettuce, tomato and cucumber, making them limp and watery if they sit together for too long.
Dry the lettuce, tomato and cucumber thoroughly after washing, and keep the dressing separate until mealtime. Store the prepared vegetables in a covered container in the refrigerator rather than leaving them at room temperature.
Salad with cheese is best eaten the day it is made. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container, and discard them if they have been left out for an extended period or look or smell off.
Yes, you can prep salad ahead for lunch by washing and drying the vegetables and storing them separately from the cheese and dressing. Assemble and dress it shortly before eating to preserve its texture.
Serve this salad alongside grilled chicken, fish, beans or a grain dish for a balanced plate. Because it includes cheese, it can also accompany soup or a sandwich as a fresh side.
This salad can make a light meal, but lettuce, tomato and cucumber alone may not keep you full for long. The cheese adds some protein; pair it with beans, eggs or whole-grain bread for a more substantial meal.
Salad can support a weight-loss eating plan when it replaces a heavier meal or side, but it does not cause weight loss by itself. Keep added dressing modest and include enough protein to make the meal satisfying.

This simple salad brings together chopped lettuce, tomato and cucumber with pieces of cheese. It is an easy fresh side to assemble at home, with no single origin tied to this everyday combination; the cheese can be whatever suits your table.
Serve it alongside a main meal, as part of a light lunch, or add bread and eggs to make it more substantial. Crisp vegetables balance the softer, savoury cheese, which also contributes protein and calcium; the vegetables provide fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals. At 65 calories per 100 g, it makes a light base for a meal. Keep it that way with a modest amount of dressing, or add extra vegetables for more volume.
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.
