Best 9 Arugula And Watercress Salad Recipes

WATERCRESS, ROCKET, SWEET PEAR, WALNUT AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• What a pukka combination, simple and classy. Don't try to make this when you feel like it, make it when you can buy perfect pears, otherwise it will taste naff. For 1 person I normally use around 1/2 a pear, 2 big handfuls of watercress and 2 big handfuls of rocket. If the pear skins are nice I just give them a wash, if not I remove them with a peeler. Then cut them in 1/2 and deseed. It doesn't really matter how you cut them up. Sometimes in big rough chunks, maybe sliced up or even grated. Then place into a bowl with the watercress and rocket. The pepperiness of the leaves works so well with the sweetness of the pear. Drizzle with good extra-virgin olive oil just to coat, a small squeeze of lemon juice (because the pear juice is slightly acidic but very tasty), and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss all this together and serve. Shave over Parmesan or pecornio, crumble your nuts over and tuck in. I love this salad with roasted meat or as a starter on its own.

ARUGULA AND WATERCRESS WITH CURRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Vinaigrette: In a mixing bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar, and crème fraîche to combine. Add the buttermilk and olive oil and whisk again to emulsify. (If the vinaigrette breaks-i.e., doesn't emulsify-whisk in ½ to 1 teaspoon water.) Finally, add curry powder, season to taste with salt, and whisk to combine. Makes about 1 cup and can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
• Assembly: Put watercress and arugula in a serving bowl; gently toss with ¼ cup dressing (or more if desired). Garnish with sliced avocado, crushed cashew nuts, and a sprinkle of salt before serving.

SIMPLE ARUGULA SALAD

AVOCADO AND WATERCRESS SALAD

ARUGULA AND WATERCRESS SALAD

Steps:

• The arugula and watercress should be trimmed of all tough stems and blemished leaves. The leaves should be rinsed well and shaken or patted dry. Put the greens in a salad bowl.

PAN-FRIED SHRIMP CAKES WITH ARUGULA AND WATERCRESS SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the shrimp cakes: Add the shrimp to a food processor and pulse 4-5 times, until minced but not mushy.
• In a large bowl, mix together the shrimp, shallot, jalapeño, eggs, panko, chives, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne, a pinch of salt, the lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
• Using a 1-ounce (30-g) scoop, portion out the shrimp mixture and gently flatten into patties.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties, in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145˚F (63˚C). Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season lightly with salt.
• Make the roasted red pepper sauce: Add the peppers, red wine vinegar, almonds, shallot, garlic, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend for 30 seconds, until smooth. With the blender running, slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify. Thin with the reserved red pepper liquid, if necessary.
• Assemble the salad: Add the arugula and watercress to a large bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil, the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well.
• Divide the salad between serving bowls and top with the shrimp cakes and roasted red pepper sauce.
