Watercress and Arugula Salad

The Lore Fresh Watercress and Arugula Salad Recipe

This watercress and arugula salad recipe has all the makings of a classic. The only trick is to get the best watercress and arugula your supermarket has to offer. We love the combination of spicy watercress, crispy celery and snappy arugula. Sometimes, I add pomegranates and feta cheese to add sweetness and tanginess. Other times, I add apples or garlicky potatoes. 

Serve the watercress and arugula salad with sandwiches, as an accompaniment to hearty meals or as a side to a well planned meal. We recently served it with our chicken bundles for a meal that was both healthy and comforting.
