Author Notes

Purslane salad is a very popular summery dish in Turkey.


It is a highly nutritious and low caloried vegetable. It is high in vitamin A, C and rich in calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, iron, and Omega-3 fatty acids. It tastes similar to watercress and spinach. This effortless recipe with strained yogurt, garlic, mint, olive oil, crushed walnuts and chilli flakes makes this salad a perfect light summery lunch alone or is great accompaniment with grilled meat dishes. If you like, crumble some feta cheese on top. —Saboush
