Preparation

Step 1
Core the Boston lettuce and separate the leaves. Trim off the tough stems of the watercress. Rinse the greens well and shake off the excess moisture.
Step 2
In a large salad bowl, add the mustard, the vinegar and the garlic. Blend well with a wire whisk, gradually adding the oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Add the lettuce, watercress, tomatoes and the sliced onion. Toss well and serve with shaved Gruyere or Parmesan cheese on top, or with a wedge of Brie on the side.
