PURSLANE SALAD WITH MUSHROOMS, WALNUTS AND OLIVES
One of the things I like best about these greens is that they're good cooked or uncooked. The leaves of dandelions and amaranth are quite tough, so if they are to be used in a salad, they should be cut in very thin ribbons, or chiffonade. Cooking diminishes their bitterness and gives endives a velvety texture that I love. This crunchy salad is about as high in omega-3 fats as a salad can be.

WILD PURSLANE SALAD WITH OLIVE OIL AND LEMON DRESSING
I have lots of wonderful wild purslane growing in my garden, and apart from adding it to salads, it is extremely useful in keeping the weeds down! Although purslane is rarely seen on our own tables today, this pretty herb has a long and interesting history. English medieval cooks and gardeners loved purslane; in fact, it is often known as the "Elizabethan Salad Herb" in the UK, as it was extremely popular as a form of greenery during that era. I absolutely love it in salads and remember eating it in Cyprus when I lived there - my Turkish Cypriot friends picked it from wasteland where the local Turkish word is Semizotu. It is thought that the genus name, Portulaca, is from the Latin porto and laca meaning 'milk carrier' in reference to its milky sap. The species name oleracea is Latin and means 'potherb'. Native to Persia and India, it was introduced into Europe by Arabs in the 15th century as a salad herb. Purslane makes an excellent edible ground cover and in many countries, it is cultivated as a vegetable, though many unknowingly consider it a weed. It was once believed to offer protection from evil spirits. Purslane is very nutritious and is rich in Vitamin C and alpha linolenic acid (one of the Omega-3 fatty acids).which the body converts into the essential fatty acids known as EPA: almost 3 percent of purslane by weight consists of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-carotene and lutein. Not only is it easy to grow purslane in your home garden, it is hard to keep it from overrunning other plants. When the plants are young, they make a tart but succulent addition to salads with just a little washing and dicing. After the plants are mature, they are best parboiled in salted water for 1-2 minutes before adding them to salads. In New Mexican cuisine, purslane is known as verdolagas, and is commonly fried with onions, added to pinto beans, or used as a herb in potato salads.

Steps:
- Make the dressing by mixing the lemon juice, olive oil and salt together - I put mine in a jam jar and shake it up! Adjust seasonings to personal taste.
- Thoroughly rinse the purslane and remove the small fleshy leaves in clusters (the stems are easily broken with your finger and thumbnail). Rinse the purslane and pat dry. Add the diced onion and tomato and with your hands mix everything together. (Remove any roots that may still be attached.).
- Add the dressing and again, mix well - so that all the leaves are coated, as well as the diced onions and tomatoes.
- Serve alongside grilled meat and fish, cheese and charcuterie or just as a light salad with rustic bread.
LEMON AND OLIVE OIL DRESSING
Along with a classic vinaigrette made with sherry vinegar and red-wine vinegar, this is an all-purpose dressing I turn to time and again.

Steps:
- In the jar, combine the salt and lemon juice. Cover with the lid and shake to blend. Add the oil and shake once more. Taste for seasoning. The dressing can be used immediately. (Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake to blend again before using.)
Tips:
- Choose tender purslane: Select young, tender purslane with small, succulent leaves. Avoid purslane with thick, tough stems or wilted leaves.
- Wash purslane thoroughly: Purslane tends to trap dirt and sand, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using. Rinse the purslane under cold water, gently rubbing the leaves to remove any grit or debris.
- Remove tough stems: If the purslane has tough stems, remove them before using. This will make the salad more enjoyable to eat.
- Use a light touch when dressing the salad: Purslane is a delicate green, so it's important to use a light touch when dressing the salad. Overdressing can weigh down the purslane and make it less enjoyable to eat.
- Serve immediately: Purslane salad is best served immediately after it's made. This will prevent the purslane from wilting or becoming limp.
Conclusion:
Wild purslane salad with olive oil and lemon dressing is a refreshing, nutritious, and flavorful dish that's perfect for summer. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed as a side dish or light lunch. With its slightly tangy, peppery flavor and crunchy texture, purslane is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal.
