I made this salad for supper; could not find the watercress, looked at 4 upscale groceries. Used a pkg'd lettuce, called artistic lettuce; it was good, the dressing was great. Like some of the others will probably keep the salad dressing to use again. Will keep looking for the watercress and if/when I find it will make this salad again; this is the first time I (think) have ever had parsnips; they were delicious by them selves, as well as on the salad. <br />Long years ago my family and I shared a Thanksgiving dinner w/a couple (he was from England &amp; she was from Finland); she made a dish called 'sweets' and I think it was made w/parsnips; not sure. Does anyone know? thanks for the wonderful recipe....ldb
