Paleo Classic Kachumber Salad
This bright, crunchy salad is a staple of Indian home cooking, and it delivers serious flavor with almost zero effort. Finely diced cucumber, Roma tomato, and red onion come together in a bowl that's as refreshing as it is vibrant, with fresh lime juice tying everything together in the best possible way. A touch of chaat masala and ground cumin give it that unmistakable depth, while minced green chili adds a little heat that keeps every bite interesting. Because it's built entirely from fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, it fits naturally into a whole-foods way of eating without any substitutions or workarounds needed. It's the kind of side dish that makes grilled meats or fish taste like a complete restaurant meal. Serve it immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the lime stays lively — this one doesn't like to wait around.
