Ingredients

  • 1pintcherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3smallPersian cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 1bunchpurslane
  • 2tablespoonsextra 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.



    Cook's Note:

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