While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the neutral oil. It should emulsify into a creamy but pourable dressing.
neutral oil
Whisk in 1 tablespoon of cold water, adding another if needed — you want it considerably thinner than ranch.
cold water
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours; overnight is even better.
Taste before serving — it should be tangy, slightly sweet, savory, and well seasoned.
Wash and thoroughly dry all the greens, then refrigerate until very cold. Chill a large stainless steel or glass mixing bowl.

Combine the iceberg, romaine, and watercress in the chilled bowl. Scatter the beets, egg, and pimentos over the greens.

Add enough dressing to lightly coat everything and toss vigorously in the chilled bowl. Finish with plenty of freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.
