Ingredients

  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 small tomato diced
  • ½ small cucumber diced
  • 1 green chili diced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon coriander chopped (optional)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vinegar
  • Salt to taste (about ½ teaspoon)

Instructions

  • Place the finely diced onion, tomato and cucumber in a bowl. Add green chili and coriander.
  • Add salt and vinegar (or lemon juice).
  • Mix and let the kachumber salad sit for at least 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Serve.

Notes

  • Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions (or whatever vegetables you are using) the same size.  
  • If you are adding green chilies, keep them on the large side so people can see and remove them easily.
  • Let the salad sit for at least 5 minutes after adding the vinegar. This lets the flavours meld together, and the vinegar also pickles the onion reducing their strong flavour.
