Remove the thick stems from the purslane, wash the leaves in plenty of water, and dry them in a colander.
Halve the plums, remove the pits, and slice them into thin crescents.
Whisk the strained yogurt, crushed garlic, olive oil, and salt for 45 seconds, until smooth.
Gently mix the purslane with the yogurt dressing; if the leaves break, the salad will release water quickly.
Leave the plum slices on top, drizzle with red pepper flakes and olive oil, and serve cold so the plums do not water down the yogurt base.
💡 Tip: Adding the plums at the last moment keeps the salad crisp without releasing water.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the purslane salad chilled, sprinkled with sumac.
