Chop your tomatoes into bite-sized chunks (or halve them if using cherry tomatoes) and carefully scatter over the top of the salad.

Do a taste test and add more of whatever you feel is necessary.

Notes

As with all of our recipes, the calories per serving of purslane and tomato salad is meant as a rough guide. The amount will vary slightly depending on your quantities.
We used the Turkish sivri biber (long, pointed peppers). If you can't find these, you can use bell peppers.
Add your dressing to the purslane and tomato salad just before serving.
The Turkish for purslane is 'semizotu'
