Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp mirin ( sweet japanese rice wine)
2 tsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp asian sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp coarse kosher
salt
1 tsp wasabi paste
2 cups coarsely chopped trimmed watercress (leaves and tender stems from 2 medium bunches)
4 green onions , thinly sliced on diagonal (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup 1/3-inch cubes peeled jicama
2 large avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, cut into 1/3-inch cubes

Directions:

Stir sesame seeds in dry skillet over medium heat until aromatic and light golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to small bowl to cool.
Whisk next 6 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add watercress, green onions, and jicama; toss to coat. Gently stir in avocados. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 hour ahead. Cover; chill.
Sprinkle salsa with toasted sesame seeds and serve chilled.
*Available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets and at Japanese markets.
Test-kitchen tip: To keep avocados from discoloring after they're diced, place them in a strainer or colander and rinse under cold running water, then drain well. The color will stay bright for at least an hour.
