Salad with semiotu is a fresh salad made with semiotu, also known as purslane. Its tender leaves and stems are often paired with tomato, cucumber, lemon and olive oil; some versions use yogurt and garlic instead.
To make salad with semiotu, rinse the leaves and tender stems thoroughly, dry them well, and chop them if desired. Toss with tomato, cucumber, lemon juice and olive oil just before serving so the greens stay crisp and the salad does not turn watery.
Yes, semiotu is commonly eaten raw in salad with semiotu; cooking is not needed. Wash it carefully to remove any grit, then dry it before adding dressing. Its mildly tangy, juicy leaves work well with a simple lemon-and-olive-oil dressing.
Salad with semiotu gets watery when the greens are wet after washing, salt draws out moisture, or dressing is added too early. Dry the semiotu thoroughly and dress the salad shortly before serving; add salt at the last moment.
Yes, the thin, tender stems can be eaten along with the leaves in salad with semiotu and add a pleasant crunch. Remove any thick or woody stems, which can be tough when served raw.
A lemon-and-olive-oil dressing is a simple match for salad with semiotu and lets its fresh, slightly tangy flavor come through. For a creamy Turkish-style version, mix the semiotu with yogurt and garlic instead of using an oil-based dressing.
Separate the leaves and tender stems, then rinse them several times in a bowl of cold water, gently swishing to release grit. Lift the semiotu out rather than pouring the gritty water over it, and dry it well before making the salad.
Leftover salad with semiotu is best eaten the same day because the leaves soften quickly once dressed. Refrigerate it in a covered container and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended period; yogurt-dressed versions are especially perishable.
You can wash and dry the semiotu ahead, then keep it refrigerated in a covered container. Store chopped vegetables separately and wait to add salt and dressing until just before serving, otherwise the salad can wilt and release liquid.
Salad with semiotu pairs well with grilled fish, roasted vegetables, beans, or a simple grain dish. A yogurt-and-garlic version also complements Turkish home-cooked meals, while a lemon-and-olive-oil version makes a fresh side for grilled foods.

Salad with semiotu is a fresh salad made with the leaves and tender stems of purslane, a leafy green used in Turkish home cooking. It may be tossed with tomato, cucumber and onion, then dressed with lemon and olive oil; a yogurt-and-garlic version is also common.
Purslane has a gently tangy, fresh taste and tender texture. In Turkey, the salad is served alongside meals or as part of a spread of small dishes, especially in warm weather. It is a light, fiber-rich choice, with 2.3 g of fiber per 100 g. For a more filling version, add yogurt; to keep it lighter, use a modest amount of oil and plenty of lemon.
