Adapted from “Prairie Home Cooking” by Judith M. Fertig (Harvard Common Press, 1999).

This delightful recipe combines peppery fresh watercress (so filled with immune-enhancing carotenoids) and elegant, creamy Brie with a simple lemon dressing for a salad sure to wake up your taste buds. So easy to make, and a refreshing change of pace for your family and guests.

INGREDIENTS
3 bunches watercress, roots and dead leaves trimmed
6 ounces Brie, rind trimmed
¼ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1. Gently rinse the watercress and pat it dry. Separate the branches. Cut the Brie into bite-size cubes. Arrange the watercress and Brie on individual salad plates.

2. Whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over each salad and serve.

Serves 4.

Trimming brie is like a sin for me... otherwise this looks good.
