Watercress Salad With Avocado, Orange & Chia Seeds

🧂 Ingredients

• 100 g watercress

  salad leaves, about 4 cups or 3-4 oz.
• 1 orange

  peeled and cut into quarter slices or bite-size pieces
• 2 tablespoons dried cranberries

  chopped
• 1 large avocado

  sliced and halved
• 1.5 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  or yellow mustard
• A good pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon honey

  optional, omit for Whole30

Instructions

• 1 If you buy a whole bunch of watercress, simply rinse it well under cold water
  and shake off the excess water. Tear or cut the leaves and some of the stems and
  use those in the salad. Discard the tougher stems near the roots and use them up
  in a smoothie, soup or stew.
• 2 Cut the orange peel away with a knife and slice the fruit into bite-sized
  pieces. You can repurpose the orange peel to make lovely flavoured water.
• 3 Make the dressing next and then cut up the avocado just before serving.
• 4 Combine the watercress with avocado and orange, and sprinkle with dried
  cranberries (omit for Whole30) and some chia seeds, which are full of Omega-3
  fatty acids and fibre. Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.
