What's for lunch? Watercress and fat.

Salad, with lots of fat!

Watercress, avocado, prosciutto, Boursin cheese and pistachio nuts. With so many good flavors, all I needed was lemon juice as dressing. A live cultured cheese made from yogurt or buttermilk would have been better, but hey this is the real world and I didn’t have any in the fridge. The avocado, cheese, prosciutto and pistachios all provided much needed and wonderful saturated fat to make me full and healthy and watercress is a super food.

Watercress packs a lot into those tiny leaves. Gram for gram, watercress contains as much viamin C as oranges, more calcium than milk and more iron than spinach. It’s also rich in vitamin A and folic acid, if you’re scared off supplements, and has been shown to have cancer-suppressing properties.
