Purslane with vegan yogurt is a plant-based take on the yogurt-dressed purslane dishes found in Turkish home cooking. It combines fresh purslane leaves with dairy-free yogurt and is usually served chilled, sometimes with garlic or a little olive oil. The name refers to a simple, adaptable meze rather than a fixed recipe.
Its tangy, creamy dressing contrasts with the tender leaves and their slight crunch. In Turkey it often appears as a small side dish at summer meals; elsewhere, serve it as a Mediterranean-style starter or alongside grilled vegetables, beans or bread. Purslane contributes omega-3 fats and some fibre, while the yogurt makes the dish creamy without making it heavy. Choose an unsweetened plant yogurt so the fresh, savoury flavour stays in balance.
