Ingredients

1 bunch watercress
1 head endive
1/2 of an orange, peeled
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Trim the stalks from the watercress. Wash and spin dry the leaves. Rinse the endive and slice it lengthwise into thin slivers. Place the endive in a salad bowl with the watercress.
Remove the pith from the orange segments and cut them into small pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic with the soy sauce, the vinegar and the sesame and olive oils. Crush the garlic into the dressing with a fork, and then remove it. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
Toss the salad in the dressing and serve.
