Did you know that watercress is one of the most nutrient-dense foods? It’s true!

Directions
Mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt with a fork in the bottom of a large salad bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, anchovy paste and mustard. Whisk in the lemon juice, then the olive oil. Stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
Add the watercress to the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. Top with the almonds and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
