I made it as written, only adding romaine lettuce to the watercress. It was delicious for a hot and muggy night in the greater Washington DC area. It’s a keeper!

Lovely salad. I bought fresh watercress and strawberries today at the market. I added soybean sprouts, sliced avocado and sunflower seeds.

Couldn't find watercress or poppy seeds, so substituted arugula and sesame seeds. This was a brunch hit—great balance of spring flavors!

This was a perfect part of a perfect spring Mother’s Day dinner. Having made the first bits up in step 1 well in advance of dressing the salad with it, I think it really helped to meld the flavours. I also went with mint and Aleppo pepper instead of basil and red pepper flakes. Used everything else in the recipe and then the goats cheese was wanting to be included, so in went the goats cheese, then the toasted pecans said, “What, are we not good enough for your salad?” So in went the pecans. Having seen that the olive oil took a pass and said they’d wait for the next salad, and all was happily delicious. The end.
