Tips:
- Select fresh and tender watercress: Look for vibrant green leaves with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Clean the watercress thoroughly: Rinse the watercress under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Gently shake off excess water.
- Use a variety of mushrooms: This recipe calls for shiitake and oyster mushrooms, but you can also use cremini, button, or portobello mushrooms.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Toss the salad just before serving: This will prevent the watercress from wilting.
