This is my first time I've ever knowingly ate watercress and endive. Watercress has a peppery bite like arugula but not as harsh and endive, well, I can't say it tasted like anything to me, I've read that it has a bittery taste. To me it was part of the recipe as more of a filler to help bulk up this salad. Anyway, this salad was absolutely refreshing, light, and filling. I could have slurped that dressing up with a straw, that good.
I inhaled this salad, for your information, you might not want to inhale while you take a bite... the vinegar and black pepper sucked into your throat will most definitely make you cough, err, not that I would know firsthand or anything.
