Apple & Watercress Salad

Even fine apple slices sink to the bottom of a salad. It's simple to toss them separately, and reserve a little for the top.

• 1 teaspoon Dijon style mustard
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

METHOD

Remove heavy stems from watercress. Clean and dry leaves and put in salad bowl.

Cut apples in quarters and remove cores. Cut each quarter in fine slices.

Make dressing: Mix mustard, salt and both vinegars together. Using a small whisk, stir until salt dissolves and mustard is blended. Add oil and whisk until blended.

Put apple slices, goat cheese and red onion in small bowl together. Toss with half the dressing.

Toss watercress with remaining dressing. Add half the apple mixture and toss again. Garnish the top of salad with remaining apple mixture. Serve immediately.

Serves: 6
