Nantucket Bleu Spinach Salad
"This is a wonderful salad--I get asked for the recipe every time I serve it! It's from the Redwood Grill in Houston, Tx. and has become their signature dish. I also think it would be terrific with raspberries substituted for the blueberries!"

I tried this and everybody loved it! I didnt have raspberry vinegar so I used balsamic and I did add a little cream to the dressing. MMMMM good thank you Leslie in Texas your awesome. -
THis is very tasty. Our grocery store had 2 different types of Rasberry Vinegar - Red and Black - we went with the black not knowing the differences. We were pleased with the results, and will be making this a part of our weekly dishes. It's a wonderful combination of flavors with a refreshing healthy feel. -
This is a magnificent salad. We absolutely loved it. Blueberries and blue cheese, can't get much better than that. Will be making this salad from now on. Thanks for posting this recipe. -
Loved this recipe! Was looking for something colorful to go with butternut squash risotto and this was it! Added some sliverd red onions as suggested and Spicy Glazed Almonds #197563. Perfect! Was worried that it might be too sweet for the risotto, but it wasn't. PERFECT!

This is a great salad!! I added some thinly sliced red onion as I think spinach salad always needs some onion, and for the dressing I used olive oil and substituted the sugar with honey instead. Brought this to my "foodie" friends and they just loved it. Great variation on the strawberry and spinach salad.
