Crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes, and sweet onion tossed with lemon, cumin, and fresh cilantro β the simplest Indian salad that wakes up any plate πβ¨.
Hook: 10-minute, no-cook crunch with bright, clean flavors β‘
Ingredients
π₯ Cucumber, small dice: 300 g (2 cups / 10.6 oz)
π Tomatoes, small dice (seeded): 250 g (1ΒΎ cups / 8.8 oz)
π§ Red onion, finely diced: 120 g (ΒΎ cup / 4.2 oz)
Salt right before serving and seed the tomatoes β it keeps the salad crunchy, not watery.
Why it works: Delaying salt reduces water draw from veggies; seeding tomatoes lowers excess juice, while roasted cumin + lemon make a bright, savory dressing without oil.
Twist: Add pomegranate seeds for sweetness, or fold in diced avocado + toasted peanuts for extra richness and bite.
