It's hard to put your finger on what makes cheese straws so incredible: they're just cheesy enough to make you smile, but not so cheesy that you feel like you're eating a block of cheddar. And they have just the right amount of saltiness and crunchiness to keep you coming back for more.But have you ever thought about why they pair so well with other foods? A lot of times, I don't even want to eat a full meal without them. They go especially well with side dishes like salads or vegetables—something about their crunchiness helps support the other vegetables on your plate and adds a really interesting texture.I think that cheese straws shine brightest when they're served alongside veggies. They make an amazing addition to any salad, but also pair well with roasted vegetables like asparagus or cauliflower (or whatever is in season). When it comes time to serve dinner, I make sure to have some cheese straws on hand to add extra savory goodness to my plate!
