Tomato & Cucumber Salad
- 4 whole Tomatoes, Chopped
- 1 whole Cucumber, Chopped
- 1 whole Small Red Onion, Diced
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Cumin Seeds
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- In a small frying pan, roast cumin seeds over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, swirling often to move them around in the pan. Crush roasted cumin seeds with a mortar and pestle until about half the seeds are crushed. It's fine if a few seeds are still whole. (You can also use 2 tsp. cumin powder, but it really is better with the seeds.)
- Combine chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and onion in a serving bowl. Mix. Add olive oil, soy sauce, and cumin seeds, stirring until coated. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. (I find about 1 tsp of each works well. Despite the soy sauce, this salad really does seem to need the salt.)
- Cover and leave on counter for about 30 minutes to combine flavours. Keeps in the fridge for a couple of days.
