I had a bunch of purslane sitting around my kitchen, needing something to be done with it. I thought a vinaigrette would pair beautifully with those crunchy leaves, and wanted to make something mustard based. This is the result of my experimentation- a yummy mustard vinaigrette- which can be used on a variety of salads. In my salad, I put purslane, sliced raw beets, onion rings, and the vinaigrette and it was amazing! Feel free to use this on any salad, or as a marinade for meats, fish, etc…- it’ll be terrific. Just a note- if your salad doesn’t have anything sweet (like beets), you may want to add a touch of sweetener to the vinaigrette, like some honey or coconut sugar or regular sugar.
I used a combination of kombucha vinegar and apple cider vinegar in mine- if you don’t have kombucha vinegar and/or apple cider vinegar, feel free to use other vinegars, just add a little bit at a time and adjust the recipe to taste.
Feel free to play around with the herbs in the recipe.
