cumin dressingDirections
- First, make the candied pumpkin seeds. Heat a medium skillet over medium-low, toss in raw pumpkin seeds followed by the granulated sugar. Toss seeds around for about 2-3 minutes until seeds are coated and toasted. Set aside to cool.
- Next, make the cumin dressing. In a blender, combine all ingredients except for olive oil. Blend for about 30 seconds or until combined. Then gradually add the olive oil. Makes about 2-3 cups of dressing.
- Now, make the salad. In a medium size bowl, combine all ingredient minus the dressing. Mix with large spoon or hands. Then gradually add dressing to taste. Serve in a wooden bowl or cups and top with fresh sprig of mint!
