Ingredients

  • 1 Large onion Salad/red/Asian shallot onion
  • ½ Cucumber
  • 8-10 Cherry tomatoes Or salad tomatoes
  • handful Mint leaves
  • handful Coriander leaves
  • ¼ tsp Salt or adjust salt to taste
  • ½ Lime
  • 3-4 Green chillies Hot/mild

Instructions

  • First, wash the vegetables with plenty of water, drain and shake the water out. Place them over the paper towel or clean cloth to remove excess moisture.
  • Cut the onion and cucumber into small cubes, Cut cherry tomatoes into halves, Finely chop the mint and coriander leaves. Cut green chillies into thin slices.
  • Place all the vegetables and herbs in a bowl.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice in and season it with salt to taste. Toss everything well and ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Salad vegetables - You don't have to add the exact same vegetables used in this recipe. Add your favourite crunchy salad vegetables. 
  • How to cut vegetables?  You can cut the vegetables into small cubes (5mm), or tiny cubes ( 3mm), or cut them into thin slices. 
  • Spices - If you love a hint of masala flavour in your onion salad, sprinkle some chaat masala, paprika powder, or your favourite masala powder. 
  • Chillies - I love to add fresh hot green chillies, if you prefer it mild, you can omit green chilies or substitute it with mild chilli peppers. 
  • You can pair this salad with Kachumber raita, poppadoms, and mint yoghurt, and serve it together with your choice of curries, biryani, pilau, or appetizers.
