Seed Oil Free Classic Kachumber Salad
This bright, crunchy Indian salad is the kind of side dish that makes everything on the table taste better. Finely diced cucumber, Roma tomato, and red onion come together with fresh cilantro, a hit of green chili, and a generous squeeze of lime for a flavor combination that is bold, refreshing, and completely addictive. Chaat masala and ground cumin do the heavy lifting on seasoning, giving the salad that signature tangy-savory depth without any complicated technique. There is no cooking involved and absolutely no oil in the recipe at all — not even a drizzle — so it is a genuinely clean, whole-food dish that fits naturally into a seed oil-free lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds. A torn handful of fresh mint folded in at the end takes it from great to exceptional. Serve it immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the lime juice stays bright.
