How to make?
Ingredients
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 bunch watercress, any thick stems removed
1/2 cup packed mint or basil leaves, or a combination of both, roughly chopped
16 ripe strawberries, hulled and halved lengthwise
6 radishes, thinly sliced
1 Persian or English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In a small bowl whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the oil. Taste and add more honey, salt, or pepper, if you like.
In a salad bowl, toss the watercress, mint and/or basil, strawberries, radishes, and cucumber with half the dressing. Taste and continue adding additional dressing until the salad is evenly coated with dressing and flavorful.
Top with crumbled feta and toasted almonds, and serve.
