- 1-2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove minced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions
- Start by roasting the pumpkin seeds on a dry frying pan until they start to crack and turn brown in spots. Set aside.
- In a salad bowl mix the mustard with the garlic and water and add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the olive oil and stir until everything is properly mixed.
- To that same salad bowl add the thinly sliced cabbage, the watercress, and the fresh thyme, then sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top. It is important to add the cabbage first. Do not mix the salad until ready to serve!
