Yield Serves 6

1 cup tawny Port
1/3 cup packed thinly sliced shallots
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/3 cup safflower oil
3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar
8 cups assorted greens (such as escarole, red leaf lettuce and Belgian endive), torn
2/3 cup crumbled Stilton cheese
1/4 cup crumbled pistachios

  • Combine greens in large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over greens and toss. Sprinkle with cheese and nuts. Toss lightly and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest greens: Look for vibrant, crisp leaves with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the greens thoroughly: Submerge the greens in a large bowl of cold water and swish them around gently to remove any dirt or debris. Drain the water and repeat the process until the water runs clear.
  • Dry the greens thoroughly: Use a salad spinner or pat the greens dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water. This will help the dressing adhere to the greens.
  • Make the dressing in advance: The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Toss the greens with the dressing just before serving: This will help prevent the greens from wilting.
  • Add some extra toppings: Feel free to add some additional toppings to your salad, such as crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, or dried cranberries.
