1 cup (medium) of Seasonal salad (80 g) has 26 calories. That works out to 32 calories per 100 g. It contains 4.2 g of carbs, 1 g of protein, 0.3 g of fat and 1.8 g of fiber. Its 57.6 µg of Vitamin K covers 48% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 15 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Seasonal salad brings together fresh vegetables that are available at the time of year, often with crisp leaves, tomato, cucumber, carrot and pepper. The exact mix varies with the season and local produce, so it is as much a flexible way to use what is fresh as a fixed recipe.
The vegetables offer a refreshing contrast of juicy and crunchy textures. A simple dressing of olive oil and lemon is common, and the salad can be served alongside everyday meals, grilled foods or as a light lunch. It is mostly vegetables, with a modest amount of energy and some fibre. Add beans or chickpeas if you want a more filling bowl, or keep the dressing light to let the produce shine.

A Seasonal salad uses vegetables that are fresh and readily available at that time of year. Common choices include leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots and peppers, but the combination can change with the season.
Keep a Seasonal salad crisp by drying the vegetables thoroughly and storing the dressing separately. Add salt and dressing just before serving, since both draw moisture from cut vegetables and make the leaves wilt.
A simple olive oil and lemon dressing works well with a Seasonal salad because it lets the vegetables' flavours stand out. Add it right before serving, or use vinegar for a sharper finish.
Yes, you can wash, dry and cut the vegetables for a Seasonal salad ahead of time, then refrigerate them in a covered container. Keep dressing, salt and delicate leaves separate until serving.
Wash each vegetable for a Seasonal salad under clean running water before cutting it, separating leafy greens so you can rinse between the leaves. Dry everything well with a clean towel or salad spinner.
A Seasonal salad pairs well with grilled fish, roasted chicken, beans, or a grain dish. Its fresh, crunchy vegetables balance richer mains, and it can also be served as part of a light lunch.
Yes, a Seasonal salad does not need lettuce. Use crunchy vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, cabbage or bell pepper, and add herbs or tender greens if you want more variety.
Add chickpeas, beans, hard-boiled eggs, cheese or cooked grains to make a Seasonal salad more substantial. Add these just before serving so the vegetables stay crisp and the salad holds its texture.
A winter Seasonal salad can feature cabbage, carrots, radishes and hardy leafy greens, depending on what is fresh locally. Slice firmer vegetables thinly so they are easier to eat raw.
A Seasonal salad may taste bitter when its greens are naturally sharp, mature, or stored too long. Balance them with sweeter vegetables such as carrot, and use a little lemon or a mild dressing.
