Soy Free Classic Kachumber Salad
Fresh, bright, and bursting with crunch, this Indian chopped salad is the kind of side dish that makes everything on the table taste more alive. Crisp cucumber, juicy Roma tomato, and sharp red onion come together with a hit of green chili and a generous squeeze of lime for a flavor combination that's bold without being heavy. Chaat masala and ground cumin do the heavy lifting on seasoning, giving the salad that signature tangy-savory depth you'd find at a great Indian restaurant. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from soy — no sauces, no marinades, no processed additions to second-guess at the label. It comes together in one bowl with nothing more than a knife and a good toss, making it an effortless weeknight companion for grilled meats, dal, or rice dishes. A handful of torn mint folded in at the end adds a cooling finish that takes the whole thing up a notch. Serve it immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the lime juice stays punchy.
