This is what i can use now.. we are doing only salads these days. like the cumin in it. the so familiar spice for me.
Oh Erica this is right up my alley!!! i absolutely love cilantro (I could stick my face in a bunch and just inhale all day long). the only thing is, im not fond of feta, so I’d have to use Ranchero Queso Fresco. I’m going to give this a try next week for my weekly salad night dinner. thank you
This looks just divine, and the cilantro is really the taste of summer in my book!
Thank you everyone for the comments!
Realmente apetitosa!!
Un beso.
So healthy and wonderful for summer. we generally eat spinach cooked here, but I love it raw and add often it into green salads. I sometimes make a sandwich from spinach leaves and cheese. I love all these veggies together in this salad.
This salad looks so fresh and healthy, perfect for the hot weather we’re having here…love the addition of cumin and cilantro!
perfect love it
An excellent summer salad! The Cilantro-lime vinaigrette sounds delicious!
