This taste like cumin. It wasn't great. I used all good quality ingredients. I freshly squeezed lemon juice, used the scallions option, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, unrefined extra virgin olive oil, baby spinach leaves, additional fresh pomegranate seeds I took out of a pomegranate plus the rest except for the optional hard boiled egg. Made for Bargain Basement Tag Game - December 2010.
