For this salad, seek out local farm eggs, which have the richest flavor and most vibrant yolk color. Peppery watercress is a good foil to the sweet, earthy flavor of beets.

Hard-boiled eggs add protein and heft to salads like this one. If the flavor of raw broccoli is too strong for you, blanch the florets for a few minutes, then put them in ice water to halt the cooking.

 

Deviled Eggs
