Add the fresh mint leaves on top of the salad, tearing any large leaves into smaller pieces if necessary.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, ground cumin, lime zest, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the vinaigrette is well combined and emulsified.
Step 6
Drizzle the cumin vinaigrette evenly over the salad just before serving.
Step 7
