Christmas with Southern Living 1995

Serves 8

"Cutting fresh herbs into julienne strips releases their
distinctive flavors. Consider serving this refreshing salad
course after the entrée."

1/3 cup sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large bunch watercress
4 navel oranges, peeled and chopped
2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/2 cup minced green onions
1/4 cup julienne-sliced fresh basil
1/4 cup julienne-sliced fresh mint

 Combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a wire whisk.
Let dressing stand at room temperature 30 minutes for flavors to blend.
Remove and discard large stems from watercress. Combine watercress
and remaining ingredients; toss gently. Drizzle dressing over salad.
Serve immediately. Yield 8 servings.
