Purslane, Cherry Tomato, and Cucumber Salad Recipe

Ingredients

1 pint cherry tomatoes

halved

3 small Persian cucumbers

thinly sliced

salt to taste

1 bunch purslane

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salad

Directions

Step 1

Combine cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt stir well then leave to sit while you prepare the purslane.

Step 2

Rinse purslane well then pat dry with a tea towel. Pick off any large leaves and the tender stems at the top and place in a bowl. Discard the larger sections of the stems.

Step 3

Check tomato-cucumber mixture; by now tomatoes should have released juices thanks to the salt. If not stir well and let sit 5 minutes more.

Step 4

Add purslane to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well. Serve immediately.
