Crush some dry mint and sprinkle it along with green chili (both these are optional and can be skipped).

Finally, squeeze in the lemon juice and mix until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust spices as needed.

Kachumber salad is ready! Serve it with some lentils, or curries with rice/roti or use as a dip or topping for tacos, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, bowls and more.
