How to make Indian Cucumber Salad recipe - This is one of the easiest salad ever, and takes just a few minutes to make. It is an simple vegetarian salad recipe, that is loaded with goodness of vegetables that are chopped, tossed up with few spices & dressed with lemon juice. It’s also commonly known as Kachumber Salad, and is ready in just a few minutes and goes perfectly with all curries or as a dip with chips. It goes well with all lunch or dinner menus.
I didn’t want to post this easy Kachumber Salad recipe, because it’s such an easy and basic recipe. But I’ve often found that it’s the simplest recipe which are most popular, so I thought to myself, why not?
The ingredients you need for this indian cucumber salad are tomatoes, cucumber, onions, chopped coriander and few spices which are easily available in our kitchen.. You can add green chillies also but I avoid it because of my toddler.
So all you do is chop everything up finely, and then add some spices with freshly squeezed lemon juice ..toss..toss..toss! or You can serves them plain also without adding spices.
I am using this kachumber salad can also be made into a cooling vegetable raita by adding some yogurt with spices like salt, cumin powder, black salt and red chilli powder. Tossing it all up.
