I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my dressing didn't turn out as creamy as I expected.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or tofu. I also like to add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

I added some chopped avocado to this salad and it was amazing! The creamy avocado really complemented the peppery watercress.

I didn't have any watercress on hand, so I used arugula instead. It turned out great!

The dressing was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll try making it with less oil next time.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much chili powder. Next time I'll use less.

This watercress salad with soy-sesame dressing was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the tangy dressing complementing the peppery watercress. I added some grilled tofu for extra protein and it turned out fantastic.
