Warm Potato and Watercress Salad

by Laura B Russell

Ingredients

Tender roasted fingerling potatoes pair harmoniously with wilted watercress in this simple salad. Be sure to toss the watercress and vinaigrette with the potatoes as soon as they come out of the oven so the cress wilts and the dressing penetrates the potatoes as they cool.

400g fingerling or small new potatoes, halved lengthwise
5 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 medium bunch watercress (about 85g), stemmed
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Position a rack in the centre of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 1 Tbs. of the oil and 1/2 tsp. salt. Roast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, mustard, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the remaining 4 Tbs. olive oil to form a thick dressing. Pour half of the dressing directly over the hot potatoes on the baking sheet. Add the watercress and toss until the potatoes absorb the dressing and the watercress starts to wilt. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.

Best meat money can buy and only meat to buy if you truly want to rebuild the environment and its resilience to climate change! Main issue is knowing which joint to defrost first hmmmmmmmmmm
