Ingredients

• 1/4 C extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 C crumbled blue cheese, divided
• 11/2 T balsamic or wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. mineral salt
• 1/8 tsp. white pepper
• 2 T minced shallot
• One bunch watercress, large stems removed

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mash about 3 tablespoons of the blue cheese into the oil. Stir in vinegar, salt, white pepper, and shallot. This dressing will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
