Watercress & Pepita Salad


This is a delicious salad recipe from one of our customers.  Cress has a very strong peppery taste, but the dressing on this salad compliments it well.  We really enjoyed it.  We also tried using a sweet red wine vinegar dressing, but the sweetness seemed to make the cress stand out too much.
