3 large red apples, cut in bite sized chunks
1 T. lemon juice
1 lb. seedless red grapes, separated from stalks
1 small red onions, sliced thin

Mix apple slices with lemon juice to avoid browning. Arrange watercress on a glass or silver platter. Sprinkle apple chunks on it next, then grapes and onion. Drizzle with honey lemon dressing just before serving. A supper club person says this salad is terrific with cucumber sandwiches.
