Field of Greens with Black Grapes and Farmers Cheese
Ingredients
Serves 4

Salad
6 cups mixed salad greens
2/3-cup (6 oz) Farmers Cheese, cubed, or cottage cheese, large curd
½ cup black grapes, seedless cut in half

Dressing
2 tablespoon raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar
4-tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt   
Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Salad
1. Wash and tear lettuces. (Precut mixed salad greens are available at the supermarket but I prefer to mix my own. I mix green and red leaf lettuce, baby spinach and a bit of arugula or whatever is at hand. I find tender leaf greens work best.)

2. Layer greens on serving bowl. Add grapes and cheese. 

Dressing
3. Whisk together oil, raspberry vinegar, salt and pepper.
4. Pour over salad and Toss at the table.

Tip: Raspberry vinegar gives this salad a real kick; I find red wine vinegar makes a very good substitute.
