Wheat Free Classic Kachumber Salad
This bright, crunchy salad is a staple of Indian home cooking for good reason — it's refreshing, boldly spiced, and comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife and a bowl. Crisp cucumber and juicy Roma tomato are finely diced alongside red onion and a hit of green chili, then tossed with lime juice, chaat masala, and cumin for a flavor combination that's tangy, a little smoky, and genuinely addictive. Fresh cilantro and optional torn mint push it over the edge into something that tastes far more special than the ingredient list might suggest. Every component here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping or substituting required — just real, whole ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. It pairs beautifully alongside grilled meats, dal, or rice dishes, but honestly it's good enough to eat straight from the bowl as a light snack. Serve it immediately after tossing so the vegetables stay crisp and the lime juice stays bright.
