This doesn't have watercress, but it has lentils, feta, and wine vinegar. Hope this is the one you wanted.

Laura B - Not sure if this was the recipe that lindajones wanted but thanks for posting it! I made this today and it was wonderful! With all the posts on good carbs/bad carbs, I want to try and incorporate more healthy carbs into my diet and this recipe is a start!

The recipe did call for white wine vinegar but all I had on hand was rice vinegar and cider vinegar. Which would have been the better substitution? I forgot to bring along the recipe to the grocery store but did manage to remember to buy all the other ingredients! Thanks again.
