Turkey Free Classic Kachumber Salad
This bright, crunchy Indian chopped 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 in a bowl that's as colorful as it is refreshing. A minced green chili brings just enough heat, while chaat masala and ground cumin add that unmistakably tangy, earthy depth you'd find at a good street food stall. Fresh lime juice ties it all together with a zippy acidity that keeps every bite lively. The whole thing is built entirely from vegetables, spices, and citrus — naturally free from any meat or poultry without a single substitution needed. A torn handful of fresh mint stirred in at the end is optional but genuinely worth it if you have it on hand. Serve it immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the flavors stay bold.
