Sizzling Omega-3 Salad

1. 1

   Cut off the ends of the cucumber and rake it with a fork lengthwise all over (or you can peel it, but youll lose some good fiber that way).

2. 2

   Slice it in quarters lengthwise, then cut across to make chunks about 1/3 inch thick.

3. 3

   Salt the chunks lightly and set them aside to drain in a colander for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and salt them lightly; set aside.

5. 5

   Mix the purslane with the scallions and cilantro in a large bowl.

6. 6

   Slice the sausages 1/2 inch thick and fry the slices (you may need a little olive oil if the sausage is very lean) in a wide skillet over medium high heat, turning the slices from time to time.

7. 7

   When theyre crusty and cooked through, drain them on paper towels and add them to the salad bowl along with the tomatoes.

8. 8

   Pat the cucumbers dry and add them to the bowl.

9. 9

   Mix the oil and vinegar with salt and pepper to taste.

10. 10

    Toss the salad with the dressing and serve immediately.
