Cooking tips 💡

• Adding salt when blanching raises the water temperature and helps preserve the vibrant green color of the greens.
• Since this pickled vegetable doesn’t require boiling the dressing, be sure to squeeze out all excess moisture from the watercress—otherwise the flavor may turn too mild.
