Purslane: You Find it in the Cracks, by Jill Kuhel

Purslane has more omega 3 than any other leafy green. Purslane is easy to find in the cracks of the sidewalk. Kay Young substitutes the purslane for lettuce in tacos or sandwiches. Bonus no chopping or wilting! The leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. I vote for raw~the less work the better! I added them to my egg salad sandwich for lunch. You can also substitute purslane for spinach in the classic pairing of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and balsamic vinegar. As a landlocked Midwesterner not fond of fish I add purslane to my mixed green salad. How do you prepare purslane?
