Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, stir well, then leave to sit while you prepare the purslane.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add purslane to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 bunch purslane
  • 3 small Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
