Pistachio 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 is bold, refreshing, and completely addictive. Chaat masala and ground cumin do the heavy lifting on the spice front, giving the whole bowl a tangy, earthy depth that goes way beyond a basic chopped salad. A handful of fresh cilantro and optional torn mint leaves finish it off with a pop of herby brightness. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there is no label-reading required and no concern about hidden additions sneaking in. It comes together in one bowl with nothing more than a knife and a lime, making it an effortless choice for weeknight dinners, barbecues, or as a cooling contrast to spicy mains. Serve it immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the lime juice stays lively.
