| Purslane- weed or salad ingredient? Think of it as a weed you grow for salads. Never heard of it? If you want a little bite to your salad, and endive is too bitter, purslane is a great alternative.
The fact that it is a common weed in the United States, and grows without a minimal amount of effort is another great reason to consider it.
Puslane has a lot more water than most lettuces, so pick it right before you need it, or keep it wrapped in moist paper towels in the frig. Pick, wash, and toss! |
