This salad is a wonderful mix of flavors and textures. Serve it with warm flatbread, such as naan. Make a simply beautiful dessert by tossing together chopped honeydew, cantaloupe, and watermelon.

Cooks' Note

Nigella are pungent and peppery seeds (also called kolonji or black onion seeds); available at Indian markets and from adrianascaravan.com.
