Kachumber salad
Diced tomato, red onion and cucumber, dressed with lime at the last minute so it stays sharp rather than watery.
Serves 6 as part of a curry night spread.
Ingredients
- 3 tomatoes
- 1 red onion
- half cucumber
- 1 lime
- half a teaspoon salt
- fresh coriander, chopped
Method
- Dice the vegetables to roughly the size of a fingernail. Even is more important than small.
- Dress with the lime juice, salt and coriander just before serving, not before. Salted and dressed early, it turns watery within twenty minutes.
Keeping it
Dress at the table. Undressed, the diced vegetables keep a day in the fridge.
The only thing that matters here is when you dress it. Everything else is chopping.
