This salad of arugula and watercress, dressed with a light orange-poppy seed dressing, makes the perfect nest for the individual carved racks of lamb. This dressing would also be terrific tossed with a light luncheon salad of grilled shrimp, scallops, and baby greens.Ingredients:

3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup light olive oil

1 bunch watercress, washed, with lower stems removed (about 3 packed cups)

Very nice and refreshing! I like poppy seeds, but will use a little less next time.
