- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Step 1
Rinse the watercress thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.

Peel half of the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the watercress, radishes, and cucumber.
Step 7
Add the avocado slices to the salad and gently toss to coat with the dressing, being careful not to mush the avocado.

Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and garnish with toasted almonds.
Step 9
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and crisp texture of the salad.
