Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

For the Dressing

2 1/4 tablespoons minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons rice-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

For the Salad

1 pink grapefruit
8 ounces watercress (about 2 bunches), thick stems removed
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Make the dressing: Whisk together ginger, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Gradually add olive oil, whisking constantly until fully combined. Set aside.

    Step 2

    Remove peel and pith from grapefruit. Holding over a medium bowl, carve out flesh between the membranes, letting segments drop into the bowl (you should have about 3/4 cup segments). Add watercress. Pour dressing over watercress and grapefruit; toss to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts. Season with salt and pepper.
