Cucumber Salad

Cucumber Salad is a light, refreshing side dish common in many cuisines — a simple mix of sliced cucumber with herbs, acid (vinegar or lemon) and usually a dressing. It’s known for being crisp, hydrating and easy to prepare alongside grilled dishes or sandwiches. As a salad based on cucumber, it is very low in energy at 41kcal per 100g and typically provides only small amounts of protein and fat; it can contribute modestly to vitamin K intake. The nutrition profile will vary a lot with the dressing, so oil- or salt-heavy versions increase calories and sodium. Because it’s mostly vegetables and water, Cucumber Salad is refreshing and can help you feel satisfied without many calories, but it’s not a significant source of protein or dense micronutrients on its own — pairing it with protein-rich foods or choosing a yogurt-based dressing can improve its nutritional balance.
