1/3 cup ruby port

1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon shallots, minced
1 egg yolk* (See Disclaimer)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup safflower or peanut oil

3/4 cup Roquefort cheese, crumbled
3/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and skins rubbed off
Seeds from 1 ripe pomegranate

Combine the safflower and walnut oils and drizzle into the yolk mixture, whisking to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Dress the romaine with the pomegranate-port vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Divide between 8 chilled plates. Divide the grapefruit segments between the salads. Sprinkle crumbled Roquefort, then walnuts, and finally pomegranate seeds on top of the salads. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality Roquefort cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your vinaigrette.
  • Use a good balsamic vinegar. A high-quality balsamic vinegar will add a rich, complex flavor to your vinaigrette.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add other ingredients to your vinaigrette to create different flavor profiles. Some popular additions include honey, Dijon mustard, and shallots.
  • Serve your vinaigrette immediately. Vinaigrette is best served fresh, so make it just before you're ready to use it.
