Notes

Tips to make the Best Kachumber Salad Recipe

  • Reduce the pungent taste of Onion: To reduce the sharpness of raw onion flavor, soak chopped onion in water for 15 minutes, drain, and then use it.
  • Serve Immediately: This salad tastes best when freshly made, but leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight and consumed the next day.
 

Variations

  • Fresh Herbs: You can add 1-2 tablespoons of freshly chopped mint to add a depth of flavor to the salad.
  • Acidity: You can use white vinegar instead of lime or lemon juice to add a tangy flavor to the salad.
  • Other Vegetables: You can add other vegetables of your choice, like radishes, bell pepper, and carrots.
  • Spices: You can also chaat masala for a zing.
