As much garlic as you want, minced

Directions:
Mix yogurt, salt, and garlic in a bowl. Add purslane to this mixture.

Purslane Salad (Semizotu Salatasi)
Ingredients:
Bunch of purslane w/ stems (if the stems are smooth)
A few leaves of fresh basil, dill or chives
Green onion (scallion goes well, too but it is expensive)
Tomato (I used the cherry ones from the farm)
Avocado, Cucumbers, Roasted Beets
Any kind of cheese, but goes well with goat or feta
Directions:
For sauce: mix the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, pomegranate juice (this makes it sweet so be careful with the amount), salt & pepper
Chop all the greens and tomato in big pieces in a bowl, if their leaves are big enough (like the basil leaves in my salad), or don’t chop them, just put the leaves as they are. You may serve it on a plate or in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle olive oil and put the cubes of cheese on it. If you don’t want a vegetarian salad, you may substitute cheese with cubes of boiled chicken breast.
