Splendid salad idea!

Date: April 02, 2008 02:28AM So, tonight, I was making one of my usual salads: romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, sprouts, zucchini, blah blah blah blah blah.
No dressing, of course... Then a bolt of inspiration STRUCK me! I climbed on my counter to reach for one of the bags on the very top shelf of my cupboard to retrieve... a handful of cumin seeds! YUM. What a subtle but succulent new dimension for salad! It keeps the dressinglessness texture that I have come to prefer, but added just a proper pinch of new flavor, so much that I had four bowls.  And felt great! >8)
Cumin is also supposed to be good for digestion, I read. Does anyone know why? Re: Splendid salad idea!

Date: April 04, 2008 12:33PM cumin goes so well with onion and garlic, and, uh... cilantro
I wonder if a raw onion bhaji exists... Re: Splendid salad idea!
