Cumin Onion & Cucumber Salad

Do you like cumin?  I love it.  Guess its like cilantro...some people love it, some people hate it.

Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1.5 tbs coarse sea salt
  • 2 1/4 lbs tomatoes, cored & cliced
  • 1 lb cucmbers, peeled & sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion sliced
  • 3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 c olive oil
In a skillet, toast the cumin seeds over moderately high heat until fragrant, 30 seconds; transfer to a mortar and let cool. Add the salt and grind to a coarse powder.  In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the cumin salt over the salad and toss. Serve the salad on a platter.
