Maybe you don't like the taste of it, but I think purslane makes an
excellent salad. I chop up the stems and leaves, maybe some onion, add oil
and vinegar. Unlike many salads, it improves with a little age.


I like purslane in salad to but the high oxalic acid content of this
plant should be noted. So, once a week at most.
