Kachumber (Authentic Indian Salad)

Kachumber or cachumber is a simple Indian-style salad made with cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. This everyday salad is served as a side with Indian meals. This fresh summer salad dressing is made without oil. Instead, it uses salt, lime juice, and chili powder.

This easy cucumber salad recipe is a vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, and no-cook recipe. All you need to do is chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces, mix them with seasoning, and serve. It is ready in less than 10 minutes. As a general guide, I use 2 parts of cucumber with 1 part of tomato and half part red onion
