garden cress
Spicy salad green
Garden cress is a fast-growing plant with small, peppery leaves used as a salad green or garnish.
The seedlings are often grown on damp cotton or paper and harvested young, appearing in egg salad sandwiches and as microgreens.
Related to watercress and mustard, it adds a sharp, slightly bitter bite to dishes.
