Where to find ingredients

- Cut each thawed surimi stick in half
- Slice each half lengthwise into thin strips

- Season the greens as desired
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the light mayonnaise, light cream, chopped watercress, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Whisk the dressing until smooth and well combined
- Divide the salad evenly onto individual serving plates
- Drizzle the creamy herb dressing over each salad just before serving
