Roman salad, also known as Roman Salat, is a simple yet flavorful dish originating from Italian cuisine. Typically composed of crisp Romaine lettuce, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, olive oil, vinegar, and a touch of salt and pepper, it serves as a fresh and light appetizer or side dish. Some variations might include grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, or herbs like basil and parsley. This salad is packed with nutrients—the Romaine lettuce offers a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, while tomatoes contribute antioxidants like lycopene. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, adding richness and aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Low in calories and high in fiber, Roman salad is a healthy choice overall. However, additions like cheese or croutons may increase saturated fat and sodium levels. For a balanced option, enjoy it with the classic ingredients in moderation.
