Sorghum Salad with Cucumber, Cilantro and Cumin

Toast the cumin seeds in a small skillet over a medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Transfer the seeds to a cutting board and, using the flat edge of a large knife, crush the seeds a bit.

In a large bowl combine the sorghum, cucumber, cilantro, scallion and the toasted cumin seeds. In a small bowl whisk together the oil, lime juice, honey, lime zest, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
