Chopped purslane salad is made with raw purslane, tomato, cucumber, and onion. Olive oil and lemon juice make a simple dressing, while herbs such as parsley or mint can add a fresh note.
To make chopped purslane salad, rinse and drain the purslane, then chop it with tomato, cucumber, and onion. Toss the ingredients with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp.
Purslane tastes mildly tangy and green, with a juicy, slightly crisp texture that suits chopped purslane salad. Its flavor is gentle enough to pair with the sweet acidity of tomato and the cool crunch of cucumber.
Yes, the tender stems can be chopped into purslane salad along with the leaves. Remove any thick, tough sections, then cut the remaining stems small enough to blend easily with the tomato, cucumber, and onion.
Rinse purslane thoroughly in a bowl of cool water, gently separating the leaves and stems to release any grit. Lift it out, change the water if needed, and drain or dry it before chopping for the salad.
You can wash and chop the ingredients for chopped purslane salad ahead, but keep them chilled and add the dressing just before serving. Tomato and cucumber release liquid after salting or dressing, making the salad softer.
Chopped purslane salad is best eaten the day it is made, since the raw vegetables quickly release water and lose their crispness. If you need to prepare it early, refrigerate the chopped ingredients separately from the dressing.
A simple lemon and olive oil dressing complements chopped purslane salad without covering the purslane’s mildly tangy flavor. Add the dressing shortly before serving, and season with salt to taste.
Chopped purslane salad pairs well with grilled meat, fish, beans, or roasted vegetables. Its fresh, juicy ingredients also make it a good side for grain dishes and savory flatbreads.
You can replace purslane with tender watercress or baby spinach, but the salad will not have quite the same juicy texture and tangy flavor. Choose a tender green that works well eaten raw, and chop it with the same vegetables.

Chopped purslane salad combines raw, chopped purslane with tomato, cucumber and onion. It is a simple way to use purslane, a leafy plant enjoyed in salads in several food traditions, and lets the fresh vegetables take centre stage.
Purslane has a gently tangy taste and juicy leaves; cucumber and tomato keep the salad crisp and refreshing, while onion adds a sharper note. Serve it alongside grilled dishes, beans or a larger spread, or enjoy it as a light lunch with bread. It is a low-calorie, vegetable-forward choice with some fibre. A squeeze of lemon and a restrained drizzle of olive oil make a bright dressing without weighing it down.
