In-Depth Information
In a medium bowl, beat together the mayonnaise, basil and vinegar until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the watercress and 2 tablespoons of the basil mayonnaise and
toss until the leaves are lightly coated. Divide among six plates.
To the same bowl, add the beans, chicken and tomatoes and '/a cup of the mayonnaise.
Stir to combine well, making sure all the pieces are very lightly coated. Divide evenly and
place atop the watercress.
Top each salad with a teaspoon or so of dressing. Serve, passing the remaining dressing at
the table.
Overcooked Green Beans
Meaty Romano-type green beans can take extended cooking - in fact, they even
reward it, turning silky and rich-flavored. Don't worry if the color turns drab: the
benefits far outweigh any lack of brightness.
