Jane Echols

Ft. Myers, Florida

 

Red Pepper and Feta salad with port and spice vinaigrette

 

 

bullet

1 cup ruby port

bullet

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

bullet

3 tablespoons sugar

bullet

1 2" cinnamon stick

bullet

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

bullet

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

bullet

1 large red bell pepper

bullet

1 bag salad greens

bullet

3/4 cup feta cheese

 

Combine ruby Port, wine vinegar, sugar, cinnamon stick and nutmeg in heavy medium saucepan. Boil mixture until sugar dissolves and mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture, including cinnamon stick, to blender. With machine running, gradually add vegetable oil and blend well. Strain vinaigrette into small bowl. (Can be made one day ahead; refrigerate; bring to room temperature before using.)

Combine pepper strips, greens, and feta in bowl. Toss with dressing. Serve.

NOTE: This called for roasted red pepper, but since we like them "raw" I just served it that way and didn't roast one.
