Ingredients:

Serving

2 bunches watercress , tough ends trimmed
1/4 cup water
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 (12 oz) can tuna , packed in water, drained and flaked
1/2 cup canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 sweet white onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
3 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp capers, rinsed and drained
salt
ground black pepper

Directions:

Coarsely chop the watercress stems until you have 1/2 cup. Rinse and dry the remaining watercress sprigs and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped stems, water, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the watercress stems are bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the tuna, beans, onion, and roasted pepper to the bowl and toss to blend.
In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, capers, and salt and black pepper to taste. Puree until smooth.
Serve the tuna mixture on the reserved watercress springs. Drizzle with the dressing.
