Citrus Watercress Salad with Arugula

I put this recipe together because raw arugula and watercress can be bitter–the orange juice lends a tart, bright flavor while balancing some of the pepper-like qualities of the arugula.  The pecans offer a warm, grounding element and the apples add a sweet crispiness!  Use as a starter salad or a lite little snack!

1/2 bunch Arugula leaves, cleaned and roughly chopped

1/2 bunch Watercress, cleaned and chopped

1/2 cup toasted pecan halves

1 Gala apple, sliced

Juice from 3/4 orange

1) Clean the Arugula and Watercress and chop; put into a medium sized bowl

2) Slice and squeeze the orange, stiring in over the leaf mixture

3) Toss in the pecans and slice up the apple.

Easy as 1-2-3!

Serves 2-3
