1 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/3 cup grapeseed oil or olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoons thyme leaves
3 cups watercress, tough stems removed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened in color and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, and mustard in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually add oil. Whisk until emulsified; season vinaigrette with kosher salt and pepper. Stir in thyme.
Toss watercress, radicchio, carrots, turnips, oranges, kumquats (if using), and toasted walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette, season with sea salt and pepper, and toss again to coat.
