I’ve made this salad many times, exactly as written. While I cannot stomach cumin or cilantro, it works in this salad, as it does in chili. For those two things, I do use it. If you are having duck, or a rich, fatty meal, serve this afterwards to clear the palate. PERFETTO!
white wine vinegar and no mustard also great. made with scallops. made as stand alone salad by adding goat cheese and radishes.
