1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the dressing

3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
