A Michigan salad is a type of green salad popular at restaurants in the Detroit area and other parts of Michigan. It is typically topped with dried cherries, blue cheese, and a vinaigrette dressing.{{cite web | last=Fisher | first=Theresa | title=Here's What Salad Looks Like Across America | website=Mic | date=February 17, 2015 | url=https://mic.com/articles/110626/here-s-what-salad-looks-like-across-america | access-date=August 25, 2018}} Some recipes use dried cranberries instead of cherries, add other kinds of fruit such as apple or mandarin orange, omit or substitute the blue cheese, and/or add walnuts or pecans.

In Western Michigan, a Michigan salad might include grapes, sliced apples, and walnuts or pecans. It often will have a mayonnaise and mustard based dressing, rather than a vinaigrette.
