Lor peynirli domatesli semizotu salatası is a Turkish salad of purslane leaves, tomatoes and lor, a mild, fresh curd cheese. The purslane has a gently tangy, succulent bite, while the tomatoes add juiciness and the lor brings a soft, milky contrast.
In Turkey, it makes a refreshing side for a home-cooked meal, or can be served as part of a spread of meze. A little lemon and olive oil complement the ingredients without weighing the salad down. It is a light choice that still provides protein; adjust the amount of lor to suit your taste or to make the salad more filling.
