TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this peppery watercress and radish salad.

  • Use The Freshest Ingredients: Crisp watercress and firm radishes will enhance the flavour.
  • For Extra Crunch: Add a handful of toasted nuts or seeds.
  • Balance The Spice: If radishes are too strong, soak them in ice water for 10 minutes.
  • Customise The Dressing: Swap lemon juice for balsamic or apple cider vinegar.
  • Pairing Options: Serve alongside grilled fish, chicken or a light cheese platter.
  • Enhance With Protein: Add boiled eggs, feta cheese or chickpeas for a more filling dish.

VARIATIONS

  • Citrus Boost: Add orange or grapefruit segments for a fruity contrast.
  • Creamy Dressing: Toss with Greek yoghurt or a tahini dressing.
  • Nutty Twist: Sprinkle with toasted walnuts or pumpkin seeds.
  • Extra Greens: Mix with arugula, spinach or romaine for added texture.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
  • Keep Dressing Separate: To maintain freshness, add the dressing just before serving.
  • Avoid Freezing: Watercress and radish lose texture when frozen.
  • Refresh Before Serving: If stored, add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Keep ingredients prepped separately and assemble when needed.
