It is a pretty prolific grower if you have a water feature that can do

I see that page says to sub dandelion [yuck, IMO], arugala, radish
sprouts, spinach, nasturtium, Belgian Endive, or purslane for
watercress.
I agree with the nasturtium, but none of the others remotely resemble
the taste or texture of watercress, IMO. Purslane is excellent- I
seem to have made my garden soil good enough so that it doesn't
support purslane anymore. Used to give me a good reason to do some
weeding-- make a salad of lambs quarters and purslane.
