I have great neighbors! Today they brought me a grocery sack full of watercress; beautiful, fragrant and fresh - but there's a lot of it.

Anyone have any ideas for using it? I've had watercress soup and watercress in salads before but that's about it and could use some inspiration.:chef:
 
How about a crusty french roll, garlic mayo,avocado,watercress dressed with some evoo and vinegar, tomato,thin sliced grilled chicken your choice dark or light meat..be sure and mash that avocado so it will stay in place, and add a little garlic to it.

Good suggestions keep em coming. Tonight I am thinking about making a souffle using chopped cress instead of the more common spinach.
 
Hi Janet, I like watercress too, normally in chinese way, I will just put it in boil water, then add some salt and oil...I will also add some pork liver :P
