Yogurt, purslane, and iceberg lettuce meze is a cool Turkish-style side dish made by folding chopped purslane and crisp iceberg lettuce into yogurt. It is commonly served chilled, with seasoning varying from kitchen to kitchen; garlic or a little olive oil can be added, but the greens and yogurt are the defining ingredients.
The tangy, creamy yogurt contrasts with the lettuce’s crunch and purslane’s fresh, slightly lemony taste. It works alongside grilled foods, roasted vegetables, or other small dishes, and makes an easy addition to a summer spread. It is relatively light, with 57 calories per 100 g, and provides a modest amount of protein. For a more filling lunch, pair it with beans or wholegrain bread.
