Purslane, Cucumber, and Feta Salad image

Fresh and flavorful purslane combines with crunchy cucumber and salty feta for a lovely salad. Purslane has more omega-3s than any other leafy green, so I try to eat a lot of it when it's in season each summer.

I'm not a big fan of purslane, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious and really brings out the flavor of the purslane.
