There's a lot to love about this Mediterranean Lettuce Salad with Purslane! |
In case anyone reading this might have a fleeting thought that lettuce salads are boring, let me start by telling you that this Mediterranean Lettuce Salad with Purslane, Mint, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Sumac-Lemon Vinaigrette was one of the most exciting things I've made for weeks. First, there's Sumac, one of my favorite flavors and a seasoning I think many Americans are missing out on. Then there is Purslane, one of the healthiest plants in the world. (Purslane has more omega-3 fatty acid than any other plant.) Plus, if you have a garden you can probably find Purslane growing as a weed! Take Sumac and Purslane and add red leaf lettuce, mint, cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, and lemon and you have most of my favorite summer flavors, combined in a salad that's about as healthy as you can get!
