What is Purslane flaxseed salad?
Purslane flaxseed salad combines the succulent, slightly tangy leaves of purslane with flaxseed. Purslane is common in Mediterranean cooking, where it is served raw in salads or added to cooked dishes; tomato, cucumber, lemon and olive oil are natural companions. The seeds bring a subtle nutty flavour and a little crunch.
Fresh and pleasantly tart, it works as a side for grilled vegetables, beans or a simple lunch. It is a vegetable-forward choice that contributes fibre, omega-3 fats and vitamin C. For a lighter dressing, keep the olive oil modest and let lemon juice and fresh herbs provide much of the flavour.
