You can use different spices to change the flavor profile of this recipe. Try some of the following;

Cumin and Chili Powder (will go great with a Mexican Feast!)
Curry Powder or Ras el Hanout (use melted coconut oil instead of olive oil. Use lime zest for garnish. Great for an Indian themed dinner!)
Basil, oregano and parsley. Add some lemon zest at the end to garnish. (Perfect for an Italian party!)
Herbes de Provence. Add some dried cranberries at the end for garnish. (Make this version with more rich French themed gatherings)
