Watercress was declared the latest super food yesterday for being packed with a higher than usual amount of nutrients found in vegetables.
Research has shown that eating a packet of raw watercress a day, or a bowl full, for eight weeks increased the ability of cells to resist damage to their DNA, helping to protect against the cell changes that lead to cancer.
This Stilton, pear and walnut salad is one of my favourite recipes, once you have all the ingredients gathered, it takes just a few minutes to pull it together, its also quite impressive. 1. Toss the chicory and watercress and distribute on four plates. Season with salt and pepper.
