Provided by katie in the UP

Categories     Citrus

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Drain the watercress and onion. Combine them with the orange segments, and vinaigrette; toss well to evenly coat.

Tips for Making Steak, Watercress, and Orange Salad

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for well-marbled steak, crisp watercress, and juicy oranges.
  • Don't overcook the steak. Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so it is still tender and juicy.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain. This will make it more tender and easier to chew.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the oranges. This will help prevent the oranges from tearing and making the salad look messy.
  • Add the dressing just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.

Conclusion

Steak, watercress, and orange salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The steak is tender and juicy, the watercress is crisp and peppery, and the oranges are sweet and tangy. The dressing is light and flavorful, and it ties all of the ingredients together perfectly. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
