Watercress Pesto Tips

  • You can add pesto straight to your pasta for a quick, delicious dinner that’s full of nutrition

  • Pesto is normally made of a leaf, in this case watercress, seasonings and some type of nut. We have recipes for watercress and pine nut pestos, watercress and hazelnut pestos, even vegan watercress pesto, so find something to suit whatever you have in the cupboard!

  • Pesto can be bad for you when there are lots of salts and sugars added, but the huge advantage of making your own is that you have full control over what you add in. Season to taste, but don’t overpower the natural peppery flavours in watercress.
