I'm not a big fan of watercress, but I really enjoyed this salad. The oranges and almonds helped to balance out the peppery flavor of the watercress.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would add some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less orange juice in the dressing.

This salad is a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The oranges provide a burst of citrus while the watercress adds a peppery kick. The dressing is light and refreshing, and the almonds add a nice crunchy texture.
