    Really delicious salad! The first time I made it, I overdressed it and it was waaay to lemony! Couldn't tast any of the other ingredients, just lemon! I corrected it the second time around and it was perfect. I'm going to try subbing spinach or homegrown arugala for the watercress due to availability. It is now my go to for a healthy super-fast lunch. Assemble the salad on Sunday, with the exception of the shrimp, which I can do quickly as needed. Toss it in a bowl and Voila! Lunch!

    The finished product was awesome...the mint lemon dressing, and the coolness of the watercress made this a very light one dish meal. It's not an issue, but I recommend that you provide the instructions for cooking the shrimps. I recently saw this episode, so I knew how Gabrielle baked them in the oven. I highly recommend it, my family really enjoyed.. I added it to my favorite list.
