Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the halved grape tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the mixture, ensuring even distribution. (1 minute)

03

Step

Add the chopped fresh mint, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Toss all ingredients together gently until well combined, being careful not to crush the tomatoes. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Allow the Kachumbar to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of chaat masala.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and seasoning to your liking.
This Kachumbar is best served fresh. If making ahead, store the ingredients separately and combine just before serving to prevent the cucumbers from becoming soggy.
Try using different types of tomatoes and cucumbers for a more complex flavor profile.
A finely minced green chili can add a delightful kick for those who enjoy a bit of spice.
