PARTNER POST: Discover the nutritious and versatile wonders of watercress with these tasty recipe ideas.
A simple, summery combination of clementines, pomegranate, and leafy greens, this citrus watercress salad is tossed in a cinnamon yogurt dressing.

When I can find a way to make dinner heat-free, I jump on it. Which is how this Citrus Watercress Salad was born.
Watercress is different from many other leafy greens in that it has a really distinctive flavor. Pungent, spicy, floral…I can never really put my finger on it. But whatever it is, it pairs awesome–ly with bright flavors like orange and pomegranate. It’s tied all together with a cinnamon-y yogurt dressing (the same one we used in these Buddha Bowls) i.e. my FAVORITE dressing of all time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute another type of yogurt for the cinnamon yogurt dressing?
Yes, you can use plain yogurt or a dairy-free alternative, but you may want to add a pinch of cinnamon and a sweetener to mimic the flavor of the original dressing.
What can I use instead of clementines in this salad?
You can substitute clementines with mandarins, oranges, or even grapefruit for a different citrus flavor.
How should I store leftover Citrus Watercress Salad?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day; however, it’s best to keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to serve to maintain freshness.
