Watercress Mango Salad
I love
this salad. It's light, little sweet and sour and 100% fat free. The
majority of time to make this salad is taken up up slicing the mango.
You can make it with in less than 7 minutes. If you have any dressing
left over, use it the next day to make another salad.
INGREDIENTS
2
ounces watercress, leaves (most stems removed)
1 mango, peeled and sliced into thin slices
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Wash and
gently dry watercress leaves and place in a large bowl. Add mango
slices.
To a small jar add apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard and salt
and freshly ground black pepper. Shake well so all the ingredients
become emulsified.
When ready to serve salad, add dressing and very gently toss everything
together. I use my hands to toss this salad because watercress is very
fragile and this way I have more control over it and I can make sure all
the leaves are covered with the dressing.
TIP DU JOUR:
When adding dressing, firstly add half of the dressing, gently toss, then add more as need be.
Be cautions not to drown this salad in dressing. Watercress is very
delicate although it tastes slightly peppery. |
