My thoughts:
I love watercress. I don't know why it isn't to a greater extent than pop hither inwards the US. When nosotros were inwards England nearly every grocery store (we went to a lot) as well as sandwich store had something amongst watercress (or its cousin "cress" aka "garden cress") for sale (or equally they said "on offer"). It is light, crispy as well as has a pleasant peppery-mustardy seize amongst teeth that complements creamy dishes similar this i quite well. I am non a huge lettuce on sandwiches individual (I e'er take away one-half of the "spring mix" that is on my
beloved smoked salmon BLT) simply the leaves of watercress are as well as hence pocket-sized that they tin last left whole as well as mixed into the egg salad rather than lining the bread. Adding the ham made the sandwich to a greater extent than satisfying as well as filling than egg salad commonly is as well as added a smoky note. This recipe is a corking agency to purpose upwards whatever leftover ham or egg yous powerfulness conduct maintain hanging nigh inwards a satisfying (packable!) lunch.
