What is Purslane salad with quinoa?
Purslane salad with quinoa pairs tender, slightly tangy purslane leaves with cooked quinoa. Purslane is familiar in Mediterranean cooking, while quinoa originated in the Andes; together they make a fresh salad that is now easy to find or prepare in many places. Olive oil and lemon are a natural dressing, and tomatoes, cucumber or herbs can round it out.
