> Watercress and Orange Salad |
|
A salad with sunny Mediterranean flavors that
is a fine accompaniment to fish or lamb. Use only
pale, very tender celery stalks and the small,
tender leaves of the watercress sprigs. Avocado
slices can be used in place of the orange slices
or, for a more substantial dish, add smoking herring
fillet and a few olives.
Diet Types: gluten-free, vegetarian
Makes 4 servings
1 ¼ lbs. watercress
2 oranges
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced crosswise
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. curry powder
salt
freshly ground pepper
5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup Nu-World Amaranth snackers- chili
lime
Remove and discard the tough stems and leaves
from the watercress. Arrange in a salad bowl.
Peel the oranges, being sure to eliminate all
the white membrane, then slice them crosswise
and remove any seeds. Add to the bowl, along with
the celery.
In a small bowl stir together the lemon juice,
vinegar, curry powder, and salt and pepper to
taste until well mixed. Add the oil and stir vigorously
until blended. Pour the dressing over the salad
along with the snackers, toss well and serve.
