I don’t know what to write about this salad other than it’s probably the prettiest salad I’ve ever made, and definitely one of the tastiest.
I get these cravings for something light and summery. The stews and soups are nourishing, but can be heavy. With all of the citrus I’ve been stocking up on, I can’t resist eating some with every meal.
Watercress has such a peppery bite to it. It goes so well with citrus. The grapefruit and oranges were particularly sweet. The natural progression for a vinaigrette was something salty and pungents. Capers, olives, and mustard. It was marvelous, I tell you, marvelous!
