1
Prepare the Lettuce
Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off excess water and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomato, onion, and green peppers into small pieces. Slice the mushrooms thinly.
3
Grate the Cheese
Use a box grater or food processor to grate the cheddar cheese into small shreds.

4
Build the Salad
In a large bowl, start by placing the torn lettuce as the base. Layer the diced tomato, onion, green peppers, and sliced mushrooms on top of the lettuce.
5
Add Cheese and Croutons
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the salad, followed by the croutons.
6
Toss the Salad
Gently toss all the ingredients together using salad tongs or two large forks until everything is well mixed.
