1 serving (medium) of Tomato, Carrot and Corn Salad (180 g) has 61 calories. That works out to 34 calories per 100 g. It contains 13.5 g of carbs, 2.2 g of protein, 0.7 g of fat and 3.8 g of fiber. Its 369 µg of Vitamin A covers 41% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Tomato, carrot and corn salad brings together chopped tomato, grated or thinly sliced carrot, and cooked corn. It is an easy home-style combination rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and the ingredients can be adjusted to suit the season. A simple dressing of lemon juice and olive oil lets the vegetables’ own flavours come through.
The juicy tomato, gently sweet carrot and crisp kernels make it fresh, colourful and pleasantly crunchy. Serve it as a side with everyday meals, grilled foods or a simple lunch; it also works well alongside bread or beans when you want something more filling. It provides fibre while remaining light, at 34 calories per 100 g. For a lighter dressing, use lemon and herbs generously and add the oil sparingly.
