Watercress-Walnut Dip Recipe
This sophisticated starter more closely resembles a pesto, and its peppery, nutty flavor goes great with our Black Pepper Lavash.
Game plan: If your bunches of watercress are large, try adding them to the food processor a little at a time, pulsing as you go.
You can make this dip up to 3 days in advance.
