Dearest Mom,
If we were together today I would make this salad for us to share—all of your favorites in one recipe. Happy Mother's Day to you and all of my favorite moms in the States (we celebrated 'Mothering Day' in March).
Lots of love,
Ronda
1 bunch watercress, coarse stems discarded
2 cooked beets, peeled, sliced
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
section of 1 grapefruit, peel and pith cut away with a serrated knife
1 ounce chilled fine-quality blue cheese, cut into small thin slices
fresh cracked pepper
coarse salt to taste
walnuts optional
Divide watercress between 2 salad plates and top with beets. Drizzle each salad with 2 teaspoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Top each plate with grapefruit and blue cheese. Top with fresh cracked pepper, salt to taste and walnuts.
Serves 2

Sounds really good and different. I wonder if you could use goat cheese instead of blue cheese? Thanks.
Thanks for the great recipe..sounds really good, I wonder if you can substitute goat cheese for the blue cheese? Definitely will give a try.
I think goat cheese would be an amazing addition!

Happy Mother's Day...even though your celebration has passed. It's funny, I had a beet salad very similar to this one last night...yum!
Try roasting your beets!
I will try roasting. Thanks for the tip!
Mary, I was just at a restaurant with my mother who indeed have a salad with beets and goat cheese. I do not like beets so I did not partake. Although, my bff swears I would like roasted beets and is prepared to make me a convert the next time I visit.
