Kachumber Salad (Cucumber, Vellarikka Salad)

After all the binge eating during Diwali, it is time again for some healthy recipes. And what better than a good salad? Especially as winter has set in early and the market will soon be filled with fresh and wonderful vegetables. The salad today is normally served with Parsi dhansak (please refer section on main dishes for recipe) and browned rice. Though very simple, it is indeed a tasty salad that can be paired with almost all dishes. Do give it a try.
