Watercress Salad with Prosciutto, Tangerines and Hazelnuts
Need A mixture of sherry vinegar, watercress, olive oil, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so flavorful. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes.
Instructions
Spread the hazelnuts in a pie plate and toast for about 10 minutes, or until fragrant.
Let the nuts cool slightly, then coarsely chop.
Meanwhile, peel the tangerines, removing all the bitter white pith; if using oranges, peel with a sharp knife. Working over a large bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the citrus sections.
In a bowl, whisk the sherry vinegar with the balsamic vinegar, honey, shallot and thyme.
Whisk in the olive oil, hazelnut oil and truffle oil in a slow stream. Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
Add the watercress and parsley to the tangerine sections and toss.
Add 1/3 cup of the dressing and toss well. Arrange the salad on a large platter; arrange the prosciutto decoratively around the salad.
Sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts and serve with the remaining dressing.
