The juicy vegetables and crisp cucumber balance purslane’s soft, fleshy leaves, while lemon keeps the salad bright. It works as a fresh side with grilled food, beans or a simple lunch, and can also be served on its own on a hot day. With no added oil, it is a light, low-fat choice; add chickpeas or serve it with bread if you’d like a more filling meal.
