Salad with shredded cheese and croutons is a classic, versatile dish often associated with Western cuisine, particularly American-style salads served as starters or entrées. This dish typically features a fresh bed of mixed greens, such as romaine or spinach, topped with savory shredded cheese—commonly cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan—for added richness. Crunchy croutons, usually made from seasoned, baked bread, lend texture and heartiness to the salad. While the greens provide essential vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants to support overall health, the shredded cheese contributes calcium and protein. However, cheese can be high in saturated fats, and croutons may add refined carbs and sodium. To balance the nutritional profile, opt for whole-grain croutons and moderate cheese portions, or include additional ingredients like nuts or seeds for healthy fats. Light dressing options can also complement this flavorful salad while keeping calorie content in check.
