Purslane Salad With Mushrooms, Walnuts and Olives image

One of the things I like best about these greens is that they're good cooked or uncooked. The leaves of dandelions and amaranth are quite tough, so if they are to be used in a salad, they should be cut in very thin ribbons, or chiffonade. Cooking diminishes their bitterness and gives endives a velvety texture that I love. This crunchy salad is about as high in omega-3 fats as a salad can be.
