CSA Recipe: Purslane Potato Salad

Purslane grows as a weed in our fields, but it’s also an edible leafy green with a sour and salty flavor. It's known to be very nutritious and have high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. While it's not the most common vegetable you'll find, we have many customers and staff who are die hard fans. It's kind of exciting to use wild foraged materials in your cooking, and you can eat all of its parts. Try it raw, steamed, or sautéed. Purslane is traditionally an ingredient in soups, stir frys or  pork marinades. Here' s a simple recipe to try the flavor for yourself.

Ingredients

6 small to medium potatoes, sliced and cooked
2 cups purslane, chopped
4 scallions, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 cup mayonnaise

Simply mix the ingredients together and chill before eating. Enjoy!
