Watercress Salad is a fresh, nutrient-rich dish featuring the peppery bite of watercress leaves, often paired with complementary ingredients like sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, avocado, or a light vinaigrette. Watercress, originating from Europe and Asia, has been celebrated in various cuisines for its crisp texture and distinct flavor. This leafy green is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with calcium and antioxidants that promote overall health and support immune function. Low in calories and high in fiber, Watercress Salad is an excellent choice for weight management and digestion. Its simplicity makes it a versatile side or light main that can be customized with proteins such as grilled chicken or boiled eggs. While generally healthy, rich dressings or added toppings like bacon can increase calories and fat content, so balance is key for maximizing its health benefits.
