Vegan Globetrotter Tips

Grind your own cumin seeds, roasting them first: Place roughly 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds in a small frying pan over medium-high heat and toast them. Cook, toss, or shake regularly until the cumin has a toasted aroma. Place the cumin seeds on a plate or other receptacle where they may cool in a single layer, allowing them to cool rapidly and avoid over-toasting. Using a mortar and pestle, a clean coffee grinder, or a spice grinder, grind the ingredients.

Ground cumin provides an earthy balance to the creamy avocado and fresh lime juice, but if you don’t like cumin, take it out and substitute it with ground cilantro or your favorite minced spice.

In this dressing, use the best olive oil you can find; inferior non-virgin oils can often affect adjacent flavors for the worst.
