It makes you run out of excuses, for not including a salad with your main meal.
In Greece, we always make this green salad using romaine lettuce. It's crunchier and doesn't get soggy as easy as butter lettuce or green leaf lettuce does. If you want an even crunchier salad texture, you can mix it along with some iceberg as well.

Eating A Green Salad Before, After, Or Along With The Main Meal?
Each alternative has its own benefits. Eating a green salad before your meal is better for weight-loss since you will eat all the healthy greens while reducing your appetite for the main meal.
Research has shown that eating a salad after the main meal, aids digestion and helps to cleanse your gut from foods that seem to stick to its lining, like meat for example. Eating a green salad along with your main meal, has the same results as eating it after a meal, but with a smaller impact.
Turn This Greek Lettuce Salad Into A Main Meal
Since this Greek Lettuce Salad takes only 5 minutes to make you can easily use it as a salad base and spare a few more minutes to add some toppings. If you're on a low-calorie diet, you can top it with boiled chicken, eggs, avocado, beets, or crumbled feta. Add a few nuts of your preference and you're good to go!
