Posted at 06:32h in Appetizers & Tapas, Home Page Features by

This refreshing salad will brighten even the grayest of days. I love to use blood oranges in the dressing, but you can swap in whatever citrus you like or have available.


Serves 2


You will need:

Salad:
4 cups watercress
3 blood oranges, peels removed and sliced into rounds
2 Meyer lemons, peels removed and sliced into rounds
2 carrots, sliced into ribbons with a peeler
1⁄4 cup pumpkin seeds
6 oz Stilton cheese

Blood Orange Vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons blood orange juice
1 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1⁄4 teaspoon salt, to taste

  1. Combine vinaigrette ingredients and mix well.
  2. Toss watercress, citrus, and carrot with vinaigrette.
  3. Top salad with pumpkin seeds and crumbled Stilton cheese.
