Time 25m

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large lemon (or 2 small)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch watercress, cut into 1-inch pieces (3 packed cups)
1 Pink Lady apple, cored and cut into a 1/2-inch dice (1 cup)
1/2 small fennel bulb, cored and cut into a 1/2-inch dice (3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons capers, drained (rinsed first, if salt-packed)

Steps:

  • Slice peel and pith from lemon with a sharp paring knife, removing as little flesh as possible; reserve peel. Working over a large bowl (to catch any juices), cut away segments from between membranes. Cut supremes into thirds and reserve in a small bowl; tip any juices on cutting board into large bowl. Squeeze membrane and peel over large bowl to extract juices.
  • Whisk Dijon into 2 tablespoons lemon juice in large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Add watercress, apple, and fennel, tossing to evenly coat. Stir in capers and lemon pieces. Relish is best served the day it's made, but can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day.

I'm allergic to apples. Can I use another fruit in this relish?

This relish is a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples that are about to go bad, and this is a great way to use them up before they go to waste.

I found this relish to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more vinegar and sugar next time.

This relish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try using less watercress next time.

I'm not a big fan of watercress, but I really enjoyed this relish. The apple and vinegar mellowed out the peppery flavor of the watercress, and the end result was a delicious and versatile condiment.

This relish is a great make-ahead condiment. I can make a big batch on the weekend and then use it throughout the week. It's a real time-saver!

I love the way this relish brightens up my winter meals. The fresh, peppery flavor of the watercress is a welcome change from the heavy, stodgy foods that I often eat in the winter.

This relish is a healthy and delicious way to add some extra nutrients to my meals. Watercress is packed with vitamins and minerals, and apples are a good source of fiber.

This watercress-apple relish was a delightful surprise! The combination of peppery watercress, crisp apples, and tangy vinegar created a refreshing and flavorful condiment that complemented my grilled chicken perfectly. I'll definitely be making this
