-lettuce
1 bn Watercress
=== WATERCRESS DRESSING ===
2 tb White wine vinegar
1 tb Water
1/2 ts Salt

SALAD: Cut core out of butter lettuce and discard. Separate leaves, rinse
and pat dry. Remove leaves from stems of watercress. Discard stems. Rinse
and dry leaves. Chop half of watercress leaves -- about 1/2 cup -- and set
aside to use in Watercress Dressing. Combine remaining watercress and
lettuce greens in large bowl. Cover greens with damp paper towel and
refrigerate while you make Watercress Dressing. WATERCRESS DRESSING:
Combine vinegar, water and salt in jar. Screw on lid and shake until salt
dissolves. Trim roots from green onions. Chop onions and add along with
olive oil and reserved watercress leaves to jar. Fasten lid again and shake
well. Dressing will look cloudy after shaking, which means it is thoroughly
mixed. ASSEMBLY: Pour half of Watercress Dressing over bowl of greens. Toss
leaves gently, preferably with your hands, going repeatedly to bottom and
sides of bowl to coat all leaves. Taste, salt to taste and toss again.
Serve cold. Yields 4 servings.
