Ingredients

3 small red onions

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbl. good balsamic vinegar

1 cup olive oil

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

6 Tbl. minced shallots (2 large)

2 tsp. dijon mustard

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

3/4 - 1 pound crumbly blue cheese (such a Maytag)

2 heads red-leaf lettuce, washed, spun dry and torn

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cut the onions in half and slice 1/4 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Bake for 12 -15 minutes, until the onions are tender. Remove from the oven, toss with 2 more Tbl.l balsamic vinegar, and let cool to room temp.

To make the dressing, whisk the shallots, mustard, red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. While whisking, add 3/4 cup olive oil until the dressing is emulsifies. Mash 1/4 lb. blue cheese with a fork and add it to the dressing.

To assemble, toss enough lettuce for 6 people with dressing to taste. Place the lettuce on 6 plates and arrange the onions on top. Coarsely crumble the rest of the cheese on top. Sprickle with salt and pepper and serve.
