"Use whatever lettuces are in season for this salad, preferably some that are tender and buttery like gem lettuce or Bibb to offset the crunchy celery and acidic grapes. If you can find a good Danish blue cheese, like Kornblomst, use it here; otherwise, any good, creamy blue cheese will work well."

Ten stars for this one! It's a beautiful salad and the dressing is fantastic! I used black grapes because it's what I had on hand, but would look much prettier if I had used green. The combo of celery and blue cheese with the grapes is so good! And marries well with the tangy dressing. This is going into my favorites file! Made for CQ4.
