🌱 Beginner🍚 Side Dish🌿 Vegan⚡ 10 min

No dressing, no marinade - just vegetables, salt, lime. Kachumber sits alongside a meal in India as a fresh, crunchy counterpoint, and it only gets tossed at the table.

🌱 Beginner: Nothing here can go wrong. If you can boil pasta, you can cook this.

Dice everything the same size - about 5 millimeters. Consistent size is the entire technique in this salad.
Combine in a bowl, add the cumin and coriander.
Salt and squeeze the lime over only right before serving. Salt draws out water, and a watery kachumber is no kachumber at all.
