If you have never tasted these lovely seeds, go out and find them. Don’t be fooled and buy black sesame seeds, get the real stuff. Ironically, I learned about this lovely seed through THE Nigella, but there is no real connection there, just that I really like both of them.

They are very aromatic and they make any simple salad or dip sing with flavor.

Lemon & Nigella seed salad 

• 1 quarter iceberg lettuce, in fine slivers
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 red onion, in thin slivers
• Juice of half a lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• Pepper & Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp of nigella seeds

This salad combines very well with a Greek stew.

Add some chicken to make this a lunch salad.
