Michigan Salad

It's been a challenging week. My butchery class is...well, I'll write about that tomorrow.

G took me into town for a relaxing dinner. I had a Michigan salad. I had never heard of these salads until, yes, I moved to Michigan. What a delicious discovery.

Michigan Salad

Mixed greens
Toasted pecans
Crumbled blue cheese
Dried cherries

Served with a raspberry vinaigrette. Occasionally I'll see walnuts used instead of pecans and gorgonzola substituted for the blue cheese. Also, I top the salad with a grilled chicken breast for a heartier dish.

Here's a recipe for the vinaigrette from allrecipes.com:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup raspberry wine vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, oregano, and pepper. Shake well.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout
of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to
say. But maybe you could a little more in the way
of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.

Maybe you could space it out better?
