Cooking tips
- The leafy parts of watercress tend to wilt and become tough when mixed, so it's best to use only the stems for this salad and reserve the leaves for pancakes or omelets.
- Make sure the salt and sugar are fully dissolved in the dressing before mixing, to prevent them from being gritty or grainy when eaten.
- Avoid pressing too hard when tossing the watercress and cucumber—overhandling can bring out a strong raw smell and cause excessive moisture loss, so gentle handling keeps them crisp.
Recommended for
- Those who enjoy a refreshing, fragrant spring and summer side dish with a tangy-sweet flavor.
- People looking for a fresh, clean vegetable salad to pair with meat dishes.
