WATERMELON, RED ONION, AND WATERCRESS SALAD
The peppery taste of the watercress makes a great balance with the watermelon. Add the onions and the pine nuts and it tastes even better by giving it an added dimension. I enjoyed this salad recently and thought I'd share it here. The best thing about this salad is that the watermelon fills you up and you don't feel hungry after. I'll be making this often especially now (June) and through late August when watermelons are at their best and available without breaking the bank.

Steps:
- Slice away the tops and bottoms of oranges. Cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the orange, slice away the peel and white pith.
- Slice between the membranes of the orange segments. Remove the segments. Squeeze the juice from the membrane, and reserve.
- Wash watercress thoroughly in cold water. Thinly slice the onion half and soak it in cold water; a brief soaking removes harsh, bitter flavors.
- Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; season with salt and pepper. Shake vigorously.
- Drain the watercress and onion. Combine them with the orange segments, and vinaigrette; toss well to evenly coat.
- Divide among salad plates and serve.

SUMMER SQUASH, RADISH, AND WATERCRESS SALAD
Cotija is a crumbly, salty cheese sold in Latin markets. Ricotta salata -- available at Italian and gourmet markets -- is a good substitute. You can make the salad and vinaigrette one day ahead; refrigerate them separately.

Steps:
- Put watercress, yellow squash, radishes, and onion in a large serving bowl.
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and honey in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until emulsified. Dress salad; sprinkle with the cheese.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the radishes and onions. This will help them blend well with the other ingredients and prevent them from overwhelming the salad.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a regular knife to slice the radishes and onions. Just make sure to slice them as thinly as possible.
- If you don't have fresh watercress, you can use baby arugula or spinach. Just be sure to wash and dry the greens thoroughly before using them.
- If you're using a store-bought dressing, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad. You may want to add more vinegar, oil, or salt to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately after it's made. This will prevent the watercress from wilting and the radishes from becoming too pungent.
Conclusion:
This watercress, onion, and radish salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
