Preparation

Step 1
Remove most of the stems from the watercress and place in a salad bowl. Trim the stems from the fennel and slice the bulb, including the core, very thin. Add to the bowl. Trim the scallions, chop and add to the bowl.
Step 2
Mix the vinegar and mustard together. Beat in the oil to make a smooth emulsion. Pour over the ingredients in the salad bowl and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
