Watercress Salad With Tequila Tangerine Dressing Recipe

This is another recipe that was emailed to me last night. Tequila, tangerine juice, lime, and honey make a delicious dressing for a salad of greens, citrus, jicama, and radishes. The dressing may be made a day in advance.

Ingredients
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons tequila, preferably gold
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste
  • Salad:
  • 3 large bunches watercress, tough stems removed
  • 2 tangerines or 1 small orange, sectioned, membranes removed, and sections halved
  • 3/4 cup diced jicama (See note below)
  • 1/2 cup thin-sliced mild red radishes
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

Directions
  1. To make the dressing, combine the tangerine juice, vegetable oil, tequila, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth. (The dressing can be made a day ahead, but shake well before using.)
  2. In a serving bowl, toss the watercress with enough dressing to coat well. Toss with tangerines, jicama, radishes, and green onions. Serve immediately with additional dressing on the side.
  3. NOTE: What is Jicama? Jicama is a crispy, sweet, edible root that resembles a turnip in physical appearance, although the plants are not related. Jicama has been cultivated in South America for centuries, and the vegetable is quite popular in Mexican cuisine. Jicama has a unique flavor that lends itself well to salads, salsas, and vegetable platters.

Love citrus type dressings, and the salad sounds good too.


The dressing sounds amazing here! 5 forks!


I don't know where Waleska is, but I can get fresh-squeezed tangerine juice here most of the year (St. Petersburg, FL) and I LOVE salads. I am going to make this. It sounds fantastic. Definitely a 5!
