For a sweeter salad, use red grapes or add a tablespoon of honey to the dressing. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant. Feel free to experiment with other fruits, such as blueberries, dried cranberries, or pears. If you don't have watercress, mixed greens or even romaine lettuce work well as a base. The salad can be made a day ahead, but add the watercress and walnuts just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
