INGREDIENTS
- 4 bunches of watercress
- 1-2 grapefruits, peeled and broken into segments
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
DRESSING INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/8 c. raspberry vinegar
- 1/2 oz. orange juice
- 1/8 tsp. garlic, jar or fresh
- 1 tsp. raspberry jam
- Salt and pepper to taste
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Trim the stems from the watercress. Wash and dry in a salad spinner. Mix salad in a bowl along
with the grapefruit sections and feta cheese. In a jar, mix the olive oil, raspberry vinegar, orange
juice, garlic, raspberry jam and salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad.
WHY THIS IS HEALTHY FOR YOU:
If you get bored making your salad with traditional lettuce, try watercress, which contains significant
amounts of iron, calcium, folic acid and vitamins A and C. Many of our clients are intolerant to cow’s
milk, but they can eat feta cheese from goats with no gastrointestinal symptoms. Feta is a good
source of protein as well as B12. While you are rethinking your salad by using watercress, try
making your own salad dressing so you avoid the hydrogenated fats in commercial dressings.
