trying this right now as i type this. the flavors of this salad terrific. i used spinach in place of arugula and i added chia seeds as a source of fiber at the end. i will omit the cumin seeds next time. the ground cumin is just enough spice. oh yea, i also sliced some radishes in for a crunch. not only was this a delight to eat but it was also a delight to look at.
