HEALTH & BENEFITS

Romaine lettuce is a low-calorie vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and folate. It is also a good source of fiber and water, which can contribute to healthy digestion and hydration. Parmesan cheese contains calcium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus, which can benefit bone health. However, the salad’s dressing contains a moderately high amount of sodium, so people watching their salt intake should consume it in moderation.
