Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the orange sections into the bowl; drain the juice and reserve for another use.
Add the watercress, endives, parsley and onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
