Ingredients

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • White Wine Vinegar: 2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • Dijon Mustard: 1/2 tsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard
  • Watercress: 50g bag watercress
  • Golden Caster Sugar: good pinch of golden caster sugar
  • Tomatoes: 270g pack mixed small tomatoes, halved
  • Salad Onions: 2 bunches salad onions, trimmed
  • Salad Onion: 1 salad onion, steeped in vinegar

Directions

  1. Heat a non-stick frying pan until very hot. Cut the salad onions in half lengthways and cook for about 2 1/2 mins each side, cut-side first, until charred and tender. Transfer to a plate while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  2. Cook the tomatoes, cut-side down, for 30 secs-1 min until just softened and caramelised, then set aside with the onions.
  3. To make the dressing, put all the ingredients into a jar with some seasoning and shake well. When ready to serve, pile the watercress, onions and tomatoes onto a platter. Give the dressing a quick shake, then drizzle it all over the salad.
