When you want something crunchy, creamy, and fresh without heating up the kitchen, this Croutons, Cheese & Cucumber Salad fits the bill. Imagine crisp cucumber sticks and juicy tomato cubes mingled with salty cheese slices, topped with golden croutons for crunch. A touch of mayonnaise binds it all together, creating a balanced bite of textures: creamy, fresh, crispy. It’s fast to make, vibrant in color, and satisfying—ideal for a light lunch, quick dinner, or as an appetizer at a gathering. Sometimes, simplicity tastes best.
Mayonnaise is used in the salad, but you can replace it with sour cream. Or you can mix a little mayonnaise with a little sour cream, depending on your taste.
These are the ingredients you will need:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups hard cheese cheddar, gouda, or similar
- 1 cup cooked smoked salami
- 2 cucumber
- 1 tomato
- 1 cup croutons

Instructions
- Firstly, prepare a deep salad bowl. Cut the cheese into sticks and transfer it to the bowl.
- Cut the salami into sticks.
- Cut the cucumbers into sticks.
- Cut the tomato into cubes.
- Add the croutons to the bowl. I used cheese-flavored croutons, but you can use any flavor you like.
- Add the mayonnaise and stir with a spoon.
