Tips:
- To make the most of the watercress's peppery flavor, use fresh, young leaves. Avoid any leaves that are wilted or yellowed.
- If you can't find watercress, arugula or baby kale are good substitutes.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the oranges. This will help prevent the orange from tearing.
- If you don't have a microplane, you can use a regular grater to zest the oranges. Just be sure to use the smallest holes on the grater.
- For a sweeter salad, use blood oranges instead of navel oranges.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and orange segments up to 2 days in advance. Store the dressing and orange segments separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, toss the watercress, oranges, and dressing together.
Conclusion:
This orange watercress bread salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet oranges, peppery watercress, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
