We seem to have this Bobby Flay salad at least once a week.  The avocado provides a creamy texture and the toasted cumin seeds create a flavor burst on your tongue.  Yes, it’s worth picking up a jar of the cumin seeds - it will make you want to try them in other recipes.  In this picture, we used a combination of arugula and spring mix.
