As we are all trying to adhere to our "New Years Resolutions", especially if one of your resolutions like mine is trying to lose a bit of extra poundage, you may find this salad that we had the other night perfect. I don't know about you, but when I am trying to loose weight I need something crunchy and lively with a hint of vinegar to satisfy my taste buds. A nice healthy salad to fill you up, not out.
The ingredients are fairly simple. Watercress, daikon radish, cucumber, thinly sliced red onion and a dash of sprouts on top. The dressing was simple consisting of seasoned rice vinegar, with just a drop or so of olive oil. Crunchy heaven in your mouth!
Cheers!

I love the gourmet rice vinegars I find at our local grocers especially the basil and garlic Deb.
Watercress is one of my favorite greens to toss up in a salad. No diet for me, though, at least not until this baby is born! 8 weeks to go!!
I wasn't bothered about having gained a couple of holiday pounds as I knew I could run it off with some extra gym visits. My injury makes that impossible for now though. May be trying out this salad soon!
Just what I am craving these days. Fresh salads :)
Such a pretty salad, and the flavours sound refreshing. Salad days will surely come my way when I back in Sydney.
Deb, happy 2008 my friend!
I have eaten more food than I care to remember over the last few weeks...January is 'detox' month for me. This pretty thing is just what I need, thank you!
Isn't daikon a fabulous vegetable?
Love to you and yours Deb. Hope 2008 is everything you deserve (and then some!). XX
That's exactly what I'm after! Crispy, crunchy veggies and a sharp dressing are the order of the day, methinks :-)
yum, that sounds good. But the weather is too cool up here in the north of Florida for all the cool crunch of this salad, but I will keep this in mind for late July and serve it out on the terrace!
Looks really BEAUTIFUL too Deb.Nice presentation!
Deb ~ I have a great fondness for watercress. When I'm especially lazy, I jus throw it into sandwiches, for its mild peppery kick. It is a great component of any salad, especially one that uses delicately proportioned ingredients (i.e. not big, leafy salads). I find it nice to throw on top of a salad, too, especially if one wants to push the point with a steak au poivre.
Wow Valli, I will have to look those up, sound great!
Oh my gosh Aimee, only 8 weeks! The new little one will be here before you know it!
Oh Wendy, I do hope you feel better soon!
Yes Maryann, me too!
Hey Nora, I think you have your hands full of baking with your mom right now to think of salads! I can hardly keep with you two! So glad you are having such fun!
Hi Lucy! I am so glad you are home safe, sound, and happy from your vacation! Cannot wait to hear about your trip!
It hits the spot Jen!
