Hazelnut Free Classic Kachumber Salad
This bright, crunchy Indian salad is the kind of side dish that makes everything on the table taste better. Crisp cucumber, juicy Roma tomato, and sharp red onion come together with a hit of green chili and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice for a flavor combination that's bold, refreshing, and completely addictive. Chaat masala and ground cumin add that signature tangy-savory depth that takes it well beyond a basic chopped salad, and a handful of fresh cilantro and optional mint keep things lively and aromatic. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, making it an effortless addition to any meal. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just straightforward, wholesome produce and spices. Serve it immediately after tossing so the vegetables stay crisp and the lime juice stays bright rather than softening everything down.
