Ingredients

Instructions

Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar to combine. Gradually whisk in oil until thickened and blended.
Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet 4 to 5 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp fat from skillet. Add mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes until just golden brown. Crumble bacon into mushrooms.
Prepare remaining ingredients (see Planning Tip).
Just before serving: Put lettuce and watercress in a large serving bowl. Add cut vegetables, mushrooms, and bacon. Whisk vinaigrette to reblend. Drizzle over salad; toss gently to mix and coat.
