Description

Light, creamy, warm, and slightly-sweet egg-based dressing is the perfect companion to zesty watercress. This is adapted from a recipe in "Valentine Dinner for Two" from the February 1977 issue of Glamour magazine, which we updated for our 2016 Epi Valentine's Menu.

Ingredients

1 large egg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Pinch of smoked paprika
1 bunch watercress, trimmed, washed (about 2 cups)

Directions

  1. Whisk egg, lemon juice, mustard, and sugar in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water; cook until mixture is foamy, thickened, and hot to the touch, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in pepper, coriander, 1 1/2 tsp. oil, and 1/4 tsp. salt.
  2. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/2 tsp. oil in a small skillet over medium. Add pumpkin seeds, paprika, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly, until seeds are golden and puffed, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool.
  3. Toss watercress with warm dressing in a large bowl. Top with pumpkin seeds before serving.
