Spring has sprung at my house!
Just kidding, I’m still stuck looking like Randy from A Christmas Story. Unfortunately I am not a fan of winter and am usually over it by week 3! Thankfully the leprechauns have brought with them an abundance of beautiful watercress.
This watercress salad is sure to lift away the winter fog! Bright and fresh the watercress balances perfectly with the spicy citrus earthiness of the togarashi roasted radishes. The creamy sesame dressing cools down the heat from the togarashi and provides the perfect accompaniment to this complex salad. Eaten on its own with some fresh bread it makes a beautiful lunch or the perfect side for your next spring get together. This one will be on my Easter table!
