Recipe: Copycat Tom + Chee Grilled Cheese Salad

I love getting their Grilled Cheese Salad! It’s a salad loaded up with lots of vegetables and then it’s topped off with Grilled Cheese Croutons! Crunchy, cheesy, light and refreshing – this dish is amazing! 

First off – you’ve got a great salad here! It’s crisp romaine lettuce topped with all my favorite vegetables: cucumber, carrots, bell pepper, red onion and mushrooms. 


The carrots were fun too – I used a vegetable peeler length-wise on the carrot and made these super thin shaved carrot slices! 

How to make Grilled Cheese in the Air Fryer

Once you have your grilled cheese done, you chop it into pieces and top your salad with it! I only used a half sandwich on each salad and it was plenty! 


The other thing I love about this is grated cheese often times gets lost in a salad and you can’t even taste it. This way you really taste the cheese and the croutons are fresh! It’s melty and crunchy deliciousness! 

What can you serve with the Grilled Cheese Salad? 

– Marinated Chicken

I have loved the Grilled Cheese Salad at Tom + Chee for years and I finally decided to make it myself. It’s so simple and delicious! Tom + Chee was seen on Shark Tank a few years back and has become a big chain – and this is one of their best ideas! This takes croutons to the NEXT level! #grilledcheese #salad
