Mushroom Free Classic Kachumber Salad
Bright, crunchy, and bursting with bold flavor, this Indian chopped salad is the kind of side dish that makes everything on the table taste better. Finely diced cucumber and Roma tomato form the cool, juicy base, while red onion and a touch of green chili bring just enough heat to keep things interesting. Chaat masala and ground cumin add that signature tangy-savory depth that makes this salad taste like so much more than the sum of its parts. A generous squeeze of fresh lime juice ties it all together, and a handful of cilantro — plus optional mint — keeps every bite feeling fresh and vibrant. Since the whole dish is built from vegetables, spices, and citrus, there's absolutely nothing to second-guess here — no hidden ingredients, no complicated swaps needed. It comes together in minutes with just a knife, a bowl, and a good toss, making it an effortless addition to any weeknight spread or weekend feast.
