Preparation -- 15 minutes

The dressing will be a reduction of red port, balsamic vinegar and sugar. That's very easy, just add those 3 ingredients to a small saucepan and simmer on low heat until thickened a bit. That will take a maximum of 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, make sure your mixed greens are properly washed to get rid of any sand. Dry the lettuce using a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel. Use a small skillet to roast the pine nuts. 

There's no need to add any oil or butter, just roast in a dry pan for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them, they will be golden brown before you know it.

Immediately add a little bit of fine salt to them and remove it from the skillet.
