Watercress is the green of choice in Cuba, its peppery taste a perfect foil for the avocado and the sweet pineapple in this classic Cuban salad. I serve it with shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce called enchilado de c
Ingredients
- 2 bunches watercress
- One 2 1/2-pound pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into four 1-inch-thick slices
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar or fresh lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large Florida (West Indian) avocado or 2 Hass avocados
- 1 small red onion (5 ounces) thinly slivered lengthwise
Instructions
- Place the watercress in a colander and rinse under cold running water to remove any grit or sand. Discard any yellowing leaves and remove the tough stems; for this salad, you want only the leaves and tender stems. Pat dry with paper towels and refrigerate while you prepare the rest of the salad.
