To make purslane salad with vegan yogurt, wash and thoroughly dry the purslane, then fold it into vegan yogurt mixed with crushed garlic and salt. Add lemon juice or olive oil if you like, and mix shortly before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Purslane salad with vegan yogurt tastes fresh, tangy, and mildly grassy, with a crisp texture from the purslane. Garlic gives it a savory edge, while lemon can brighten the flavor; the exact creaminess depends on the vegan yogurt you use.
Yes, purslane is commonly eaten raw in purslane salad with vegan yogurt. Use clean, fresh leaves and tender stems, wash away any grit, and dry them well before mixing; cooking is unnecessary and makes the salad less crisp.

Purslane salad with vegan yogurt is a plant-based take on the yogurt-dressed purslane salads popular in Turkey. Fresh purslane leaves and tender stems are chopped and folded into vegan yogurt; garlic and a little olive oil are common additions. The greens have a fresh, faintly tangy flavour and a juicy, slightly crisp bite, balanced by the yogurt’s creamy texture.
It is usually served chilled as a meze or side dish alongside a Turkish meal, and works just as well with grilled vegetables, beans or flatbread. For English-speaking home cooks, it makes an easy, refreshing addition to a summer spread. The salad is light, with purslane contributing plant-based omega-3 and some fibre. Choose unsweetened vegan yogurt and go easy on the oil for a lighter version.
