Green Dip (watercress, rocket and basil)




I went foraging in the neighbor's property (he is cool about it) to pick some watercress. It is a bit late for watercress, the flowers are already out, but I could still pick some to mix to other greens to make a tasty dip.

Ingredients:
A mixture of watercress, rocket (rucola), and Genovese basil, (or any greens and herbs you like)

Blend the first 4 ingredients, then add salt and olive oil to taste. Serve with homemade bread, as a dip or as a spread.
