  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon snipped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 garlic clove, cut in half
  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 bunch watercress, stems removed
  • 1 large seedless english cucumber, sliced

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid or a similar container, combine the oil, vinegar, parsley, mustard, salt, garlic, and pepper to taste. Cover and shake well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled. The dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
