Parsley, Mint And Watercress Salad With Garlic - cooking recipe

Ingredients

regular table salt
1 head garlic, separated into cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, about 1/4 lb, stemmed (Italian)
1 bunch of fresh mint, about 1/4 pound, stemmed
2 bunches watercress, about 10 oz total weight, stemmed

Preparation

Bring a small saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil and add table salt to taste. Add the garlic and parboil for about 3 minutes to soften slightly and mellow the flavor. Drain and let cool.
Place the cooled garlic in a small bowl and add the oil, lemon juice, sea salt and pepper. Whisk to dissolve the sea salt and form a dressing.
In a salad bowl, combine the parsley, mint and watercress. Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
