FIBER
1 bottle (medium) of Salad (No Oil) (120 g) has 26 calories. That works out to 22 calories per 100 g. It contains 4.8 g of carbs, 1.4 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 2.5 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.
Salad (no oil) is a simple mix of fresh vegetables—often crisp lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion and parsley—served without an oil-based dressing. The ingredients vary with the season and what is on hand, so it works as an easy everyday side rather than a fixed regional recipe.
The leaves are crunchy, the cucumber and tomato add juiciness, and onion brings a sharper note. It can accompany grilled food, soup or a sandwich, or serve as a light lunch with beans or another protein added. This is a low-calorie, fibre-containing choice, with 22 calories per 100 g. For extra flavour without oil, dress it with lemon juice, vinegar, herbs or a little pepper just before serving.

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.

To make an oil-free salad, toss chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and onion with fresh herbs. Add lemon juice or vinegar just before serving so the vegetables stay crisp and the salad does not turn watery.
An oil-free salad works well with lemon juice or vinegar mixed with mustard, garlic and a little water. For a creamy option, thin tahini with lemon juice and water, then season it with pepper or herbs.
Fresh herbs, black pepper, sumac, mustard, garlic and a squeeze of citrus bring flavor to an oil-free salad without relying on oil. Add salt shortly before eating, since it draws moisture from chopped vegetables.
An oil-free salad can support a weight-loss plan by adding satisfying vegetables to a meal without a rich dressing. It is not a complete meal on its own for everyone, so pair it with beans, eggs or another protein if you need lasting fullness.
An assembled oil-free salad is best eaten within a day, since tomatoes and cucumbers release liquid and soften. Store it in a sealed container without salt or dressing, and add those just before serving.
Yes, you can wash and chop the ingredients for an oil-free salad ahead, but keep juicy vegetables and dressing separate when possible. Store everything covered in the fridge and combine it shortly before eating to preserve its texture.
Dry the greens thoroughly and keep the salt, lemon juice and dressing out of an oil-free salad until serving. If preparing it in advance, store the dressing separately and place a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture.
Add chickpeas, lentils, beans, eggs or grilled chicken to make an oil-free salad more filling. These additions turn a bowl of vegetables into a more substantial meal without needing an oily dressing.
Yes, rinse lettuce leaves and herbs under clean running water before adding them to an oil-free salad. Dry them well afterward; wet leaves dilute the dressing and make the other ingredients less crisp.
An oil-free salad pairs well with grilled fish, chicken, beans, pasta or a grain bowl. Its fresh, tangy flavors balance richer main dishes, while adding legumes or a protein makes it work as part of a lighter meal.
