It’s purslane season!

(1/2) > >>

Stickhead:
This weed comes up everywhere on my property wherever I have bricks or stones.  It’s coming on strong right now here in VA.  Purslane is easy to prepare - just rinse it off and eat it!  It’s crunchy and tasty, kinda like a crunchy arugula with a hint of lemon.  Use it as is or add it to a salad.  It’s free, full of vitamins, and yummy.

Cukes from my garden and weeds from my garden (purslane) and a little Italian dressing...that was last night's dinner when I got home from work late.  Yum!

Later on I will be adding tomatoes to this salad, but for now they are green, hard, and a little too bitter.

It does. That's a nice note to add to a salad. Always taste a little first because it can vary quite a bit.

Around my house I use Round Up for a marinade on that stuff.
