Purslane, beetroot and walnut salad brings together tender, slightly tangy purslane, sweet cooked beetroot and crunchy walnuts. It is a Turkish- or Mediterranean-style home salad, often simply dressed with olive oil and lemon; the earthy beetroot and rich nuts balance the greens’ fresh, lemony edge.
In Turkey it can be served as a meze or alongside a main meal, and it also works well as a light lunch with bread. For English-speaking readers elsewhere, it makes an easy side for grilled vegetables, fish or beans. The ingredients contribute fibre, omega-3 and vitamin K. Use a modest amount of dressing if you prefer a lighter salad, and add the walnuts just before serving to keep their crunch.
