For an extra layer of flavor, toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute or two before grinding. This will enhance their aroma and depth of flavor. If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits, such as chopped dates or apricots, in place of or in addition to the raisins. This salad is best served chilled or at room temperature.
