1 serving (medium) of Salad with Lor Cheese (150 g) has 143 calories. That works out to 95 calories per 100 g. It contains 9 g of carbs, 9.8 g of protein, 7.5 g of fat and 3.3 g of fiber. Its 54 µg of Vitamin K covers 45% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 25 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Salad with Lor Cheese brings together leafy greens, chopped tomato and cucumber, finished with soft, crumbly lor. Lor is a mild, fresh Turkish cheese, often made from whey; it adds a creamy, lightly grainy contrast without overwhelming the vegetables. The combination is rooted in Turkish home cooking, though it also works as an easy, familiar salad anywhere.
Serve it as a light lunch or alongside grilled vegetables, meat or fish. A simple dressing of olive oil and lemon lets the fresh produce and cheese stand out. The vegetables provide fibre, while lor contributes protein and calcium, making this more substantial than a plain green salad. Add chickpeas or beans if you want a heartier meal, or keep the dressing modest for a lighter plate.

Lor cheese is a fresh, soft Turkish cheese traditionally made from whey. In Salad with Lor Cheese, it adds a mild, crumbly topping rather than the salty, firm bite you would get from many aged cheeses.
Salad with Lor Cheese is made by tossing leafy greens with chopped tomato and cucumber, then adding crumbled lor cheese. Dress it with olive oil and lemon just before serving so the vegetables stay crisp and the cheese keeps its texture.
A simple olive-oil-and-lemon dressing suits Salad with Lor Cheese best. A little pomegranate molasses is another option, but add it sparingly so its sweetness and acidity do not overwhelm the delicate lor cheese.
Yes, feta can replace lor cheese in Salad with Lor Cheese, but it makes the salad saltier and tangier. Crumble in less feta to start, and taste before adding any extra salt.
You can wash and chop the vegetables for Salad with Lor Cheese ahead of time, but keep them separate from the cheese and dressing. Combine everything shortly before serving to prevent watery vegetables and wilted greens.
Salad with Lor Cheese works well alongside grilled vegetables, soup, or bread for a simple meal. It can also balance a richer main course, especially when you keep the dressing light.
Salad with Lor Cheese can make a satisfying meal because it combines vegetables with protein-containing cheese. It does not cause weight loss by itself; keep added oil and other toppings moderate if you are managing your overall intake.
Salad with Lor Cheese is best eaten fresh, especially once dressed. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and eat them soon; discard salad that has been left out for an extended time.
Yes, Salad with Lor Cheese can be eaten at breakfast. For a more substantial morning meal, serve it with eggs or whole-grain bread rather than adding a heavy dressing.
Leafy greens, tomato, and cucumber are a classic base for Salad with Lor Cheese. Arugula, parsley, or fresh herbs can add a peppery or fragrant note, while drying washed greens helps keep the salad from becoming watery.
