Watercress Radicchio And Radish Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Trim radishes and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch wedges.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then saute radish wedges with salt, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered.
• Saute garlic in remaining tablespoon butter in skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add watercress and saute, covered, until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Return radish wedges to skillet to reheat quickly and serve.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients, then season. (This can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.) Peel the cucumber into long, thin strips with a vegetable peeler, discarding the seeded section. Just before leaving, arrange the watercress, cucumber and radishes in a portable container. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar, the mustard, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking , and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. In a large bowl toss together the watercress, the radicchio, and the scallions, pour the dressing over the salad greens, and toss the mixture well. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and arrange the Parmesan curls on top.

Steps:

• Toss cauliflower with 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow baking pan and season with salt. Roast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender and begins to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook nuts in remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly in skillet.
• Stir together lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Add nuts with any oil from skillet, roasted cauliflower, watercress, radicchio, and salt and pepper to taste, then toss to coat.

Steps:

• Season the beets: Slice red beet as thinly as possible with a mandoline or sharp knife and place in a small bowl. Slice golden beet and place in a separate bowl. Season each bowl with salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest. Toss and leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
• Make the horseradish cream: Put crème fraîche in a small serving bowl. Add horseradish, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Make the salad: Place watercress in a low salad bowl or serving platter. Arrange seasoned beet slices over the cress and drizzle with any remaining lemon juice. Scatter radish slices over the salad and garnish with quartered or halved eggs. Sprinkle salad very lightly with salt. Serve the horseradish cream separately and add a spoonful to each serving.

Steps:

• Remove tough stems from watercress; break leaves into bite-size pieces. Arrange watercress on plates.
• Mix oil, vinegar, salt and pepper; pour over radishes and toss. Spoon radish mixture onto watercress.

Steps:

• Break apart the watercress and add to a large bowl.
• Clean and slice the radishes. Peel and chop the onion.
• Drizzle vinegar (of your choice) and extra-virgin olive oil over the salad and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Wash the watercress and leave to soak in a large bowl of cold water.
• Whisk the vinegar with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Toss the radish in the vinegar and leave to pickle.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the shallots in a roasting tray and coat in the olive oil. Season. Arrange the shallots cut-side down and roast for 45 mins.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes and mint in a pan. Cover with cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 10 mins until tender. Leave to cool in the water, then drain, cutting any bigger potatoes in half.
• Peel off the roasted shallot skins and discard. Pull apart the shallot halves and toss in a salad bowl with the potatoes, dressing and the roasting oil. Drain the watercress, then add that, season, and scatter over the pickled radishes and a little cider vinegar. Toss everything together and serve.
