For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the cumin seeds in a dry pan for a minute or two before grinding. This will enhance their aroma and depth. Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped bell peppers or cucumbers for added crunch and nutrients. This salad is best when the flavors have had a chance to meld. Prepare it a few hours ahead of time and chill in the refrigerator.
