Kachumber Salad
1 large cucumber, cut in half, de-seed and sliced in 1/4" pieces
1 medium tomato, de-seeded and cubed
1 white or red onion, sliced
1/2 cup white or red wine vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice *
1/4 tsp cumin powder
salt and pepper to taste
cayenne pepper or sriracha to taste (if you like it hot)
Place the sliced onions in 1/2 cup of vinegar and let soak in the fridge for an hour if you have it, 30 minutes if you don't. While they are marinating, mix up the remaining ingredients. *I usually add the lemon juice gradually so that I don't overdo it. Once the onions have softened in the vinegar mix add them to the cucumber mixture. You can serve this salad immediately, but I find it tastiest if you let it chill and soak in it's own juices for a while in the fridge. Tastes like summer!
