Purslane salad
Purslane is a fast growing, super healthy weed. It has lots of vitamins, omega acids and minerals. And on top of that it has a rich, interesting taste! During our stay in Provence, it was available at a local veggie producer’s store so I bought it without hesitating. And I loved it! Now I will be looking for it when I am back home, or even, given that I read how easily it grows, I will try to cultivate some myself!
Ingredients
For the salad
- 3 handfuls or purslane (just the leaves and thin stems);
- 1 peach, sliced or chopped;
- 3 table spoons of hazelnuts (chopped);
- ½ fresh chili pepper, finely chopped;
For the vinaigrette;
- 2 table spoons olive oil;
- 2 table spoons balsamic vinegar;
- 1 tea spoon high quality honey;
- Salt and pepper.
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the salad in a bowl (or in 3 separate bowls if you prefer to make 3 separate salads as I do):
- Place all the ingredients for vinaigrette in a glass and mix well:
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad(s) and serve with fresh bread.
