Kachumber is a super easy and yummy salad that people often make in the Indian subcontinent. It's made with simple ingredients like fresh cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, and some tangy lemon juice.
To make kachumber, we first need to wash our hands and gather all the ingredients. You will need a cucumber, a tomato, and a small onion.
1. Cucumber: Cucumbers are long and green veggies that are very refreshing to eat. They have a cool and crisp taste. We need to wash the cucumber properly and then cut it into small pieces.
2. Tomato: Tomatoes are red and round veggies. They are juicy and taste a little bit sweet. We also need to wash the tomato and then cut it into small pieces, just like the cucumber.
3. Onion: Onions are kind of like a vegetable. They make many people cry when you cut them, so I suggest you ask a grown-up for help. We will need to peel the onion's outer layer and then cut it into tiny pieces.
Now that we have our cucumber, tomato, and onion pieces ready, we can mix them in a bowl. We need to gently stir everything together.
To make our kachumber even tastier, we can squeeze some lemon juice on top. Lemons are small and yellow citrus fruits that are really sour. We can either squeeze the lemon directly onto the salad or use a small spoon to pour the lemon juice.
The lemon juice adds a tangy flavor to our kachumber and makes it extra yummy.
Besides lemon juice, some people also like to add a pinch of salt, a little bit of black pepper, or some fresh cilantro leaves to their kachumber for more flavors. But it's totally up to you how you want to make your salad.
Once everything is mixed together, we can take a small spoon and taste a little bit of our kachumber. If it needs more salt or lemon juice, we can add a little bit more until it tastes just right for us.
Now, our kachumber is ready to enjoy! We can eat it as a side dish with our meals, or even as a snack by itself. It's a healthy and delicious way to eat some fresh veggies!
