Typically when I make a salad, I mix greens to create a variety of flavors and textures, but I prefer to
eat miner’s lettuce alone. All it needs is a light coating of vinaigrette.
I whisked together a light mustard vinaigrette and
added some freshly ground green peppercorns and a little fleur de sel for texture and
crunch. The result is a tart, smooth, crunchy, and very Spring-tasting salad.
Miners' lettuce is also known as winter purslane (they’re both in the portulaca family). If you have ever eaten summer purslane, you can appreciate - and recognize - the succulent texture of this plant.

The best leaves flourish in the shade. Once picked, miners' lettuce leaves will last in a bag in the fridge for up to five days. Keep a
damp paper towel in the bag to keep everything nice and fresh. I've included an affiliate link to the reusable produce bags that I use for miners' lettuce and other produce.
Do you forage? Have you ever had miners' lettuce?
I don't know where you find all the hours in the day.....
