Atkins Salad Recipes

Ingredients:

1 tbsp cumin seeds, or 1 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup mild olive oil
salt and pepper
6 cup prepared mixed salad greens
1 small avocado, peel, pit, 1in cubes
1 tomato, cored, seeded, chopped
1 small cucumber, seeded, diced
2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped

Instructions:

Avocado mixed with vegetables and fragrant cumin dressing makes a nice
change of pace from guacamole.

1. 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.

2. 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.
