Wikipedia: Crouton
A crouton /ˈkruːtɒn/ is a piece of toasted or fried bread, normally cubed and seasoned. Croutons are used to add texture and flavor to salads—notably the Caesar salad — as an accompaniment to soups and stews, or eaten as a snack food.
 
Wikipedia: Lucky Charms
Lucky Charms is a brand of breakfast cereal produced by General Mills since 1964. The cereal consists of multi-colored marshmallows and pieces of shaped pulverized oat, each resembling one of several objects or symbols associated with good luck.

Croutons are the cereal marshmallow bits of salad.  Shredded cabbage is the whole grain.

Sometimes I eat a Caesar salad like I would a bowl of lucky charms, picking out the croutons like they’re marshmallows.
