You can prepare the purslane and peppers ahead, but keep them dry and refrigerate them separately from the dressing. Toss purslane pepper salad just before serving; once dressed, its tender leaves quickly lose their texture.

What is Purslane pepper salad?
Purslane pepper salad is a fresh salad associated with southeastern Turkish cooking. It pairs purslane—known locally as pirpirim—with peppers, bringing together purslane’s succulent, slightly tart leaves and the pepper’s crisp bite. It is usually served raw and freshly dressed, rather than cooked.
In Turkey, it fits naturally alongside a main meal, especially in warm weather; elsewhere, serve it as a light side with grilled food or a simple lunch. It is low in energy, with 28 calories per 100 g, and contributes fibre, omega-3 and vitamin C. A squeeze of lemon and a modest amount of oil keep the vegetables’ fresh flavours in focus.
