Watercress and Avocado Salsa

Our Watercress and Avocado Salsa is the perfect way to use up those fresh watercress leftovers you have lying around. It's also incredibly refreshing and a great way to add a little crunch to your next taco or burrito bowl. The salsa is made with a simple combination of watercress, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

I first came up with this recipe when I was trying to find a way to use up some leftover watercress. I had already made a salad with it, but I still had a whole bunch left over. I didn't want to just throw it away, so I decided to experiment with it in a salsa. I started by adding some avocado, red onion, and cilantro to the watercress. Then I added some lime juice, salt, and pepper. The result was a delicious and refreshing salsa that was perfect for adding a little crunch to my next taco or burrito bowl.
