Watercress Pesto

A member of the brassica family, watercress has a peppery, mustard-like flavor, making it a wonderful green to eat. It's also extremely good for you, containing more calcium (by weight) than milk. It's also packed with antioxidants, that can help battle lung and breast cancer. To reap the benefits of both taste and health, opt for wild, organic watercress. Once in hand, here are a few delicious ways to use watercress.

Create a zesty pesto using watercress as its main ingredient. 
 
Here's How: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then add 6 packed cups of watercress. Blanch until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Then place in a food processor with 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup toasted almonds, 4 chopped cloves garlic and zest of 2 lemons. Pulse until smooth and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
