What does "light" mean here?

Rebecca

"Light" in this case describes the salad and means that it is a small portion and low-calorie with not a lot of filling toppings inside. You can use the word "light" when referring to any food to mean a small amount of food or food which is not very filling. Ex: I'm not very hungry so I'm going to eat a very light salad. Ex: The meal was very light and I'm still hungry.
