A Cucumber Kachumber Salad recipe? For those who’ve never heard of it – at first glance, it may sound like a funny or peculiar recipe but it’s not. In fact, it's extremely simple and healthy! Based on the Indian cuisine, a bowl of Cucumber Kachumber typically comes with tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Sometimes chilli pepper is used for the seasoning but people get creative these days by us ... ing oregano or cloves too. At its core, it is a delicious salad that's crafted using chopped vegetables. Plain Greek yoghurt or agave syrup are used for the dressing and some choose to go with mayo. It bears a striking resemblance to the ‘Pico de Gallo’ which is Mexican salsa due to its colours and textures. The cooling effects of the vegetables along with the crunchiness is just the start of this Cucumber Kachumber Salad recipe. When you add spices and seasoning to the mix, that’s when it truly shines! Drizzle with a tablespoon (or two) of nut butter or Apple Cider Vinegar and you get the goodness of sweet or sour notes of your choice. Three layers of flavours blended finely right there! Kids love to snack on this recipe and eat it with dips and sauces. You can serve this salad with nachos and dips on the side.

Health Benefits of Cucumber Kachumber Salad
Cucumbers are low in calories and a good source of potassium. For anyone who is on a weight loss diet, tomatoes and cucumbers in this salad provide a sensation of fullness with their high-water content. This prevents episodes of bingeing and makes sticking to your diet a lot easier. When you add yoghurt to the recipe, you get a good source of healthy fats and protein. Salads have been always known to be high in fibre and ease digestion. This homemade Cucumber Kachumber Salad is no exception. If you want to tweak the recipe and get creative, you can throw in some roasted aubergine and mushrooms. Those will give a fleshy or meaty texture to the dish. We recommend enjoying this salad with a refreshing glass of smoothie for a filling meal. But you can also have it for dinner with a bowl of dal and rotis if you want. Get creative in the kitchen by following along our Cucumber Kachumber salad video and share with us your creation!

Success!

We hope you had fun making it! Enjoy the meal.
