Watercress Caesar Salad image

Did you know that watercress is one of the most nutrient-dense foods? It's true! Packed with vitamin K, which promotes healthy bones, and antioxidants, cruciferous watercress is in the same family of vegetables as cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts. This dish puts a twist on classic Caesar salad by swapping the lettuce for watercress.
