Purslane-Peach Salad With Feta And Pickled Red Onions
- 1 small red onion, shaved into rounds
- Sea salt
- 1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup diced bread, any kind -- from pullman to pumpernickel -- in 1/4-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces purslane, roughly chopped into bite-size pieces
- 2 large ripe peaches
- 2 tablespoons rough chopped herbs, such as dill, tarragon, chives, chervil, and parsley
- 4 ounces crumbled feta
- Preheat the oven to 325u0b0 F.
- In a small bowl, combine the shaved red onion, a pinch of sea salt, and the vinegar. Leave to marinate for at least one hour.
- Meanwhile, make the croutons by tossing the cubed bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 325u0b0 F for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once pickled, the onions will turn pink. Transfer them to a medium serving bowl, reserving the vinegar in the small bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil into the vinegar to make a vinaigrette.
- To the serving bowl, add the purslane, peaches, herbs, and feta. Dress with the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss lightly. Top with croutons and serve.
