Steps:
- Combine stemmed watercress, orange slices and sliced red onion in large bowl. Place Sherry wine vinegar in small bowl. Gradually mix in olive oil. Add marjoram. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 3 hours ahead. Cover salad and refrigerate. Cover dressing and let stand at room temperature.) Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of onion. Red onions are the most commonly used type of onion for this salad, as they have a sharp, pungent flavor that pairs well with the horseradish and watercress. However, you can also use yellow or white onions if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Soak the onions in cold water before using. This will help to remove some of the sharpness of the onions and make them more palatable.
- Grate the horseradish fresh. Freshly grated horseradish has a much stronger flavor than prepared horseradish, so it is best to grate it yourself if possible.
- Use a light hand with the horseradish. A little bit of horseradish goes a long way, so be careful not to add too much or the salad will be too spicy.
- Choose fresh, peppery watercress. Watercress is a key ingredient in this salad, so make sure to use fresh, peppery leaves.
- Dress the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Conclusion:
Chopped red onion, horseradish, and watercress salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The sharp flavor of the onions and horseradish is balanced by the peppery watercress, and the dressing adds a touch of sweetness and acidity. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes.
