Purslane, parsley and lemon salad is a fresh, simple salad made with tender purslane leaves, parsley and lemon. Purslane has a gently tangy flavour and juicy, succulent leaves; the parsley adds a more pronounced herbal note, while lemon brightens the whole bowl. It is familiar in Turkish home cooking, especially in warm weather, and is served alongside a meal or with other salads and small dishes.
Light and fibre-containing, it also offers vitamins C and K and plant-based omega-3. Rinse and dry the leaves well before tossing them with lemon and a little olive oil so the dressing does not dilute. Serve it with beans or bread to make a more substantial meal, or keep it as a crisp, refreshing side.
