with Cucumber and Lemon Cumin Dressing
LOW CARB SALAD WITH 9.4 G NET CARBS
Cumin is one of my all time favourite spices as it adds an incredible depth of flavour to your salads. In combination with the toasted sesame, lemon and mint it really makes plain carrots and cucumbers exciting! I served this salad with grilled chicken breasts marinated in oil, garlic and hot madras powder and it was just sensational.
