I made this for a potluck by preping everything but the watercress in one bowl the night before. Then just toss it together before serving. Turned out great, and was very popular. Different, but in a tasty way. Could easily add some shredded chicken, too.

I was not a fan of this salad. For some reason, I found the cumin seed to be unbelievably overbearing. I had a hard time eating the salad. I think if I made it with less cumin seed, or even omitting it, I would have liked it a lot better.
