- - to make
- Serves 4
Although purslane is a vegetable I tried when I was younger, I was rather indifferent about it and since leaving home I never bothered to buy it again. I decided that it was time to give it a second chance and I must say that I regret that I hadn’t tried it again all these years. Read more I will definitely buy it over and over again not only because it is healthy but also because it is very tasty. See less

How to make it
- For Salad
- Wash the purslane thoroughly. I had the purslane washed when I prepared the purslane pesto and reserved the top parts for the salad.
- Boil the potatoes with the skin and peel while hot and cut into small pieces.
- Chop the parsley, tomato, cucumber and onion. (I peeled the tomato as my husband has problem digesting the skin).
- Add remaining ingredients (capers, gherkins and beetroot). A few weeks ago, I had some beetroots, which I boiled with the skin, I peeled them, cut them into slices and preserved them in a jar with vinegar.
- Prepare the dressing, toss all the ingredients together in a salad bowl and serve.
