Edamame and Watercress Tartine Recipe

This easy edamame and watercress tartine recipe is spring on a plate. It is a fresh, light brunch option that looks elegant and is so healthy!

Do you ever get that feeling that your body is screaming for something green? I’ve read somewhere that if we pay attention we can tell what our body really wants. Lately I can’t seem to get enough of green vegetables. I’ve been drinking green smoothies, eating plenty of salads and basically putting greens wherever and whenever I can. I’ve definitely been feeling so much better as a result.

The other day I was out grocery shopping and I saw the freshest, most beautiful watercress. I got a lot of it and knew I had to use it up quickly. Other than using it in salads it is actually quite good for green smoothies. You can use some fruit if you don’t prefer a green smoothie that tastes really “green”.

I decided to use the watercress to make this easy, light tartine recipe. Tartine is basically an open faced French sandwich. With all the beautiful produce available right now I wanted to come up with a tartine recipe that really screams spring! I think this one did the job beautifully. This tartine recipe features protein packed edamame, watercress, breakfast radishes and cherry tomatoes.

Not only do these look super elegant but they taste so fresh and light you’d want to eat these for lunch every day! This would also be a perfect lunch for work. Just pack the toast, the greens and the dressing separately. When you’re ready to eat just mix the greens with the dressing and pile it up on the toast. This healthy tartine recipe definitely made me feel so energetic the rest of the day. This can also be easily made Vegan and Gluten Free. Pick gluten free bread and replace camembert with Vegan cheese.

Since the vegetables I used were so fresh I wanted to keep the flavors subtle to be able to taste the actual flavors of the greens. I used a basic vinaigrette to dress the vegetables. Worked beautifully because it really allowed the greens to shine. Since this tartine recipe is so healthy, I could justify the extra cookie I ate for dessert!
