"This is a old favorite. When I first made it, watercress was what I used; now, that arugula has become more available - and, popular, I prefer to use that. They both have a peppery flavor; but, I really prefer arugula over watercress. Just a couple of simple ingredients; and, you have a fantastic salad."
