MELON, CUCUMBER AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Melon, Cucumber and Cherry Tomato Salad image

This is an extremely simple, yet spectacularly refreshing salad, especially when made from height-of-the-season summer produce. Ripe melon mirrors the tomatoes' sweetness. Cucumber, a relative of melon, gives both crunch and flavor. A handful of basil and mint leaves, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice added just before serving, bring it all together.

PURSLANE, CHERRY TOMATO, AND CUCUMBER SALAD



Purslane, Cherry Tomato, and Cucumber Salad image

A simple way to enjoy purslane, which is a weed that you might be able to forage in your own backyard! Purslane has more omega-3s than any other plant source and a pleasant lemony flavor. Here I toss it with a simple mix of cherry tomatoes and cucumber for a cool salad with nice crunch.

Time 10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
3 small Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
salt to taste
1 bunch purslane
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, stir well, then leave to sit while you prepare the purslane.
  • Rinse purslane well, then pat dry with a tea towel. Pick off any large leaves and the tender stems at the top and place in a bowl. Discard the larger sections of the stems.
  • Check tomato-cucumber mixture; by now, tomatoes should have released juices thanks to the salt. If not, stir well and let sit 5 minutes more.
  • Add purslane to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well. Serve immediately.
