Equipment

  • Salad Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup diced cucumber
  • 1 Cup chopped onion
  • 1 Cup chopped tomato
  • ½ Cup grated carrot
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Chaat Masala
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon roasted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Wash, pat dry, and chop all the vegetables.
  • Add all the ingredients to a large salad mixing bowl along with spices, salt, lemon juice, and fresh herbs.
  • Gently mix all the salad ingredients. Kachumber Salad is ready to serve!

Notes

  • You can add radish, cherry tomato, pomegranate, and apples too.
  • Make sure to finely chop all the ingredients of the same size. 
  • It is best to make a fresh batch of kachumber salad as the vegetables release their juices after 1 hour of adding salt. Hence, the whole salad becomes non-crunchy and watery. 
  • if you want to make a nut-free kachumber salad, skip adding peanuts. It is an optional ingredient.
