Gluten Free Classic Kachumber Salad
Bright, crunchy, and bursting with fresh flavor, this Indian chopped salad is the kind of dish that makes you want to eat your vegetables. Crisp cucumber and juicy Roma tomatoes are finely diced alongside red onion and a kick of green chili, then tossed with lime juice, cilantro, chaat masala, and cumin for a combination that is bold and refreshing all at once. The optional torn mint leaves take it over the top if you have them on hand. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there is no label-checking or ingredient swapping required — just straightforward, wholesome produce and spices. Chaat masala is the secret weapon, lending that signature tangy, slightly funky depth that makes this salad taste like so much more than the sum of its parts. It comes together in minutes and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rice dishes, or honestly just a spoon. This is the kind of simple, vibrant side that earns a permanent spot in your regular rotation.
