Instructions

Slice the apples and shallot.
Place the watercress in a bowl and toss it with the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and kosher salt. Add the sliced apples, shallot, Parmesan cheese shavings, and flaky sea salt and toss until combined. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

*We prefer young watercress that’s sold in a bag, since the flavor is milder than more mature watercress sold in bunches.

**If all you have is kosher salt or flaky sea salt, you can combine these quantities to taste. The flaky sea salt is a nice finishing salt for a salad.
