Peppery watercress and pleasantly bitter radicchio stand up well to the lively country mustard vinaigrette in this simple salad. Radishes add a welcome crunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons country Dijon mustard

  • Pinch of sugar

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 bunches watercress, cut into 2-inch pieces (5 cups)

  • 1 head radicchio, cut into 1-inch slices (½ cup)

  • 1 bunch radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced (1 cup)

Directions

  1. In a salad bowl, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Slowly add oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified. Add watercress, radicchio, and radishes. Toss to evenly coat in dressing; serve.

Cook's Notes

For a more festive-looking salad, use a variety of radicchios, such as Treviso, radicchio variegato, and radicchio rosa.
