White-wine vinaigrette brings out the delicate flavor of watercress without overwhelming it in this quick side salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches watercress, tough stems trimmed, coarsely chopped (8 cups)

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a salad bowl. Slowly whisk in oil. Add watercress and toss with vinaigrette to evenly coat. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: For the best flavor, choose ripe peaches that are slightly firm to the touch. Use baby watercress and endive for a delicate and peppery flavor.
  • Grill the peaches: Grilling the peaches gives them a slightly smoky flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the salad. Be sure to grill them over medium heat so that they don't burn.
  • Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to eat.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's assembled. The peaches will start to brown if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This watercress, endive, and grilled peach salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. The grilled peaches add a slightly smoky flavor that pairs well with the peppery watercress and endive. The vinaigrette is light and tangy, and it brings all the flavors together. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up any ripe peaches you have on hand.
