Watercress Salad with Wasabi Dressing

February 26, 2015 by yokosakai

I had a nice salad similar to this at Masa Bar in New York City.  It was a very simple salad, but I really enjoyed the wasabi dressing that they used.  Of course I don’t remember exactly how the taste was, but I am happy with this version that I created.  Besides the dressing, the key is to use crunchy greens like watercress and to add a meaty flavor like that of the imitation crab sticks.  Probably Tuscan kale would work well also.
