The bright colored greens can also be used as a substitute for pepper and are often garnished on seafood dishes such as ahi, crab, salmon, and shrimp. Petite® Watercress Pink Ice™ pairs well with cucumbers, celery, asparagus, mint, peas, cherry tomatoes, watermelon, apples, oranges, persimmons, quince, and walnut. The greens will keep 7-10 days when stored unwashed, in a sealed container, and in the refrigerator.
