Creamy Watercress Dressing
Notes: This lovely sauce is another good use for the tougher watercress stems and less-than-perfect leaves. If making it up to 1 week ahead, cover and chill (it will darken and thicken slightly). Serve as a salad dressing or as a dip for cold, cooked shrimp, or drizzle over poached chicken breasts.
