Instructions: In small dry skillet over low heat, toast cumin seeds or ground cumin 2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring occasionally. If using seeds, grind in a mortar or coffee grinder and place in small bowl. Add lemon juice and whisk well. Add oil in a thin, steady stream, whisking until blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.

In large salad bowl, combine greens with 1/4 cup dressing; toss to coat. Place on serving plates. Mix avocado, tomato, cucumber, and onion with remaining dressing; toss to coat. Top each portion of greens with avocado mixture.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
