This combination of romaine, turkey, potatoes & chevre is fantastic and the raspberry vinaigrette is phenomenal, with flavors that just don’t stop.

The mixture of other fresh veggies rounds out the salad and adds extra nutrition too.

The Ontario vegetables and chevre, which I am using for this recipe come from my local Harvest Barn Country Market in Niagara-on-the-Lake, one of their two locations, with the other location being in St. Catharines, here in southern Ontario.
Harvest Barn Country Markets are known for their superbly fresh, quality produce. It’s good to know that Harvest Barn Country Markets make an effort, as much as possible to bring in produce to their markets from within a 100 mile radius of their locations.
