Looking for a fresh chopped salad? Here you go... Kachumber recipe is a popular Indian-style salad made within 10 mins. This simple salad is made with cucumber, tomato, onion, and coriander leaves dressed up in a spicy lemon condiment.

Kachumber salad is usually consumed as a salad or side dish for roti, phulkas, dal rice, and curd rice. It can also be served as a dip for papad or chips. I often make this salad at home for our lunch as I love the combination of crunchy, spicy, and tangy flavors.

Kuchumber is a perfect dish to make in summer as it is thirst-quenching. A vegan, no-oil, and no-boil recipe makes an ideal dish for weight loss.

The traditional kachumber salad has just three basic veggies. However, it can be modified by adding grated carrots, raw mango, corn, sprouts, radish, and capsicum. You can throw in some crushed peanuts for a crunchy flavor. It is a must to try basic salad at home.

Kachumber is also spelled as kuchumber or cachumber in India. Alright, now let's get into the recipe!!!
