Freshen the palate between the main course and dessert with this simple salad. I would serve it with a whole cheese (or part of one), such as Vacherin, chèvre, unpasteurized Camembert or Brie - whatever happens to be in really perfect condition on the day. Accompany it with water biscuits and unsalted butter.
Wash and dry the watercress, selecting only the tender tips for the salad. Pile loosely in a bowl and scatter with the shallots. Add a little coarsely ground black pepper. Mix the olive oil with the fruit juices, and set aside. Pour over the salad just before serving and toss well.
