The big uncut leaves are suited for slow nibbling of token amounts of salad.
Croutons are recognizable from a distance as a non vegetable ingredient, making it attractive to someone who'd rather not eat vegetables at all. To me they're just stale bread.

What does this sentence even mean?
Apologies for my non-native English. I'll try putting more words on it and maybe it will come out less convoluted.
It's easier to eat a lot of salad when it's finely cut. Then you just shovel in a portion with a bit of everything with every grab of the fork or spoon. With a large piece of lettuce, you need to cut it first, and then stab the piece with the fork, and then combine with other ingredients. Which makes eating that kind of salad a slow process. That's what I meant by "suited for slow nibbling of token amounts".
