Categories     Citrus

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 oranges (I used Blood Oranges)
1 bunch watercress
1/2 red onion, medium-sized
2 1/2 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice away the tops and bottoms of oranges. Cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the orange, slice away the peel and white pith.
  • Slice between the membranes of the orange segments. Remove the segments. Squeeze the juice from the membrane, and reserve.
  • Wash watercress thoroughly in cold water. Thinly slice the onion half and soak it in cold water; a brief soaking removes harsh, bitter flavors.
  • Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; season with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously.
  • Drain the watercress and onion. Combine them with the orange segments, and vinaigrette; toss well to evenly coat.
  • Divide among salad plates and serve.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the watercress was tough.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less orange juice.

I'm not a big fan of watercress, but I really enjoyed this salad. The orange and red onion help to balance out the peppery flavor of the watercress.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamin C. The oranges and watercress are both packed with this essential nutrient.

I added some chopped walnuts to this salad for extra crunch and it was delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

This salad was an absolute delight! The combination of peppery watercress, sweet orange, and crunchy red onion was perfect. I especially loved the tangy dressing, which really brought all the flavors together. Will definitely be making this again!
