Ingredients
- Apples – I used red Fuji apples for this recipe, but you can use any readily available variety. Just make sure they are fresh, crisp, and free of bruises or black patches.
- Onions, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers – Like the classic kachumber, this apple kachumber salad also has a mix of onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- Green chilies – Adjust the amount to your taste.
- Others – You will also need cilantro (fresh coriander leaves), pomegranate seeds, salt, pepper, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
You can also add raw green mangoes in summer to add a slightly tangy taste.
Apple Kachumber FAQs
It is optional. I like the crunch the skin adds to the salad, so I keep it on. But feel free to peel the apples.
Fresh fruits and vegetables may contain harmful residues on their surfaces, and it is essential to remove them before consumption.
I like to soak my fresh produce in water mixed with veggie wash. However, you can also use 1 tablespoon of baking soda and ¼ cup of white vinegar as a veggie wash to soak fresh fruits and veggies.
Fill a large tub with water. Add a cup of veggie wash, or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Soak the fresh produce in the mix for 30 minutes. Then rinse well and use.
Storage Suggestions
I do not recommend storing seb kachumber, as the apples tend to turn black and lose their crispness if stored for too long. Serve it immediately after you make it.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and finish them within a day. Mix the salad thoroughly with a spoon before consuming.
