Instructions

1

Prepare the citrus: Peel the orange and grapefruit, then segment them by cutting between the membranes. Set aside.

2

Slice the red onion thinly. If the flavor is too strong, soak the slices in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain.

3

Toast the almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool, then chop roughly.

4

Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

5

Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine watercress, citrus segments, red onion, and toasted almonds.

6

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

  • Freshness: Use the freshest watercress possible for the best flavor and texture.
  • Citrus Variations: Try adding blood oranges or pomelos for a different twist.
  • Nuts: Substitute almonds with walnuts or pecans if preferred.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the vinaigrette and toast the nuts ahead of time, but assemble the salad just before serving to keep it crisp.
  • Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.
