Step by Step guide

Step 1

Combine the wine vinegar, sugar, water, and ground red pepper in a small saucepan. Add the bay leaf and a pinch of coarse kosher salt, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add the thinly sliced onion to the marinade and cook, stirring, for another two minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Season with pepper and salt to taste.

For the blue cheese dressing, combine the wine vinegar with the mustard in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Add half a cup of Roquefort cheese and mix well.
