Michigan Salad Recipe

Michigan Salad is beloved by Michiganians.  We make it make it year round using whatever salad green is in season.  As early as April 1, I plant mesculan varieties of lettuce seeds in large pots filled with time-release soil.  If there is a frost warning, the pots are covered with a beach towels for the night.  A time-release soil is used so the leaves won't be contaminated by a spray-on fertilizer. I let the lettuce go to seed at the end of the year and in the Spring, new growth comes up.  I fertilize then.

Ingredients
seasonal lettuce
crumbled blue cheese (feta may be substituted)
walnuts, broken by hand and toasted
optional: grilled chicken breast, shrimp or salmon
raspberry walnut vinaigrette  (Ken's lite is good)
fresh raspberries (dried cherries or cranberries may be substituted)

Instructions
1.  Combine first five ingredients in the amounts desired. 
2.  Garnish with raspberries.
