Opposite flavors attract in this composition of peppery watercress and honeyed strawberries, and the result is a unanimous hit. It takes just a few minutes to assemble the opus of bright colors and flavors that include feta, toasted sesame seeds, and roasted tamari almonds.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups lightly packed watercress, tough stems removed
2 cups sliced strawberries (8 ounces)
¼ cup roasted tamari or salted almonds, coarsely chopped
3 ounces feta, crumbled (¾ cup)

Directions

Toast sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat, shaking frequently, until fragrant and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
Meanwhile, whisk together oil and vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add watercress, strawberries, almonds, sesame seeds, and feta. Toss gently to combine; season to taste. Serve immediately.
