Kachumbar is a refreshing, raw vegetable salad that hails from Indian cuisine. Its simple yet flavorful mix typically includes finely chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and sometimes radishes or chilies, all tossed with fresh lime or lemon juice, salt, and a sprinkle of spices like cumin or chaat masala. Parsley or cilantro is often added for a vibrant herbal note. This side dish is packed with nutrients, as it's made entirely of fresh, whole vegetables rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration-boosting water content. The lime juice adds a tangy kick while providing vitamin C, and the lack of heavy dressings or added fats makes it a low-calorie, heart-healthy option. However, its sodium level can increase if too much salt is used, so portioning with seasoning is key. Quick to prepare and incredibly versatile, Kachumbar is a nutritious accompaniment to both light and hearty meals.
