This was my first time trying Watercress. I loved the peppery flavor. It reminded me of radishes. Not grassy tasting at all just peppery with a little bite. This Watercress Steak Salad offers lots of different ingredients like tomatoes, pears, peppery watercress, juicy slices of steak and chunks of mozzarella cheese all topped with a wonderful vinaigrette.
