Eat Michigan Salad

And while we love this recipe for the tangy blue cheese, bittersweet cranberries and fresh shallot vinaigrette, this salad is endlessly customizable.

Recipe Summary Eat Michigan Salad

I live in Buckeye country, that's the land of Ohio State University football to the rest of you. We love to tailgate and watch the Bowl games, and are always trying to come up with clever things to do to our biggest rivals up north, the Michigan Wolverines. The cherries and maple in this wonderful salad inspired the name. Enjoy!
