Recipe Summary Purslane, Cherry Tomato, And Cucumber Salad

A simple way to enjoy purslane, which is a weed that you might be able to forage in your own backyard! Purslane has more omega-3s than any other plant source and a pleasant lemony flavor. Here I toss it with a simple mix of cherry tomatoes and cucumber for a cool salad with nice crunch.

Ingredients | Keto Cucumber Tomato Salad

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

3 small Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced

salt to taste

1 bunch purslane

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Combine cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, stir well, then leave to sit while you prepare the purslane.

Rinse purslane well, then pat dry with a tea towel. Pick off any large leaves and the tender stems at the top and place in a bowl. Discard the larger sections of the stems.

Check tomato-cucumber mixture; by now, tomatoes should have released juices thanks to the salt. If not, stir well and let sit 5 minutes more.

Add purslane to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well. Serve immediately.

If the tomatoes don't release much juice, you can add red wine vinegar to taste along with the olive oil.
