Preparation steps
Rinse the watercress, spin dry and remove any tough stems. Rinse the wild garlic, cut into strips and shake dry. With a paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the oranges. Working over a bowl to catch any juice, cut in between the segments to release the fruit. Squeeze the orange shell to extract the juice.
Remove the crust from the bread and cut the bread into cubes. Heat the butter in a skillet and saute the bread until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Cut the bacon into strips and saute in a dry skillet until crisp.
For the salad dressing: In a bowl, whisk all of the dressing ingredients together. Whisk in the orange juice.
To serve, arrange the watercress, wild garlic, orange fillets and bacon on plates, drizzle with salad dressing and scatter the croutons over.
