    About Apple Kachumber

    Give your classic kachumber salad a twist this summer and make this refreshing Apple Kachumber (Seb Kachumber). Just chop the apples and mix them with onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other kachumber ingredients and your fruity version of this Indian salad is ready in no time.

    Apple Kachumber is easy to make, nutritious, and comes together in just 10 minutes.

    The addition of sweet juicy red apples gives this refreshing salad a slightly sweet taste with a nice bite. Serve it with your everyday meals or enjoy it as a mid-day snack.

    This recipe is vegan and gluten-free and can be easily doubled or tripled.

    Ingredients

    Apples – I used red Fuji apples to make this recipe but you can use any variety of apples that are easily available to you. Just make sure they are fresh, crisp, and free of any bruises or black patches.

    Onions, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers – Just like the classic kachumber, this apple kachumber salad also has a mix of onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

    You can also add raw green mangoes in summer to add a slightly tangy taste.

    Others – Apart from the above-mentioned ingredients, you will also need green chilies, cilantro (fresh coriander leaves), pomegranate seeds, salt, pepper, and lime juice.

    Adjust the green chillies depending on your taste and preference.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should we peel the apples or not, to make seb kachumber?

    It is totally optional. I personally like the crunch skin gives to the salad, so I keep the skin on. But feel free to peel the apples.

    How to clean apples and other fresh produce?

    There could be harmful residue on the skin of fresh fruits and vegetables and it is very important to get rid of them before consuming them.
    I like to soak my fresh produce in water mixed with veggie wash. You can also use a mix of 1 tablespoon baking soda and ¼ cup white vinegar in place of veggie wash to soak the fresh fruits and veggies.

    Fill a large tub with water. Add a cup of veggie wash or baking soda and vinegar to it. Soak the fresh produce in the mixture for 30 minutes. Then rinse well and use.

    Serving Suggestions

    Apple Kachumber can be served on the side with your weekday meals.

    It also makes a healthy snack to eat in between meals or whenever hunger strikes.

    You can also add this salad to your wraps, burrito bowls, or buddha bowls.

    Storage Suggestions

    I will not recommend you store Seb Kachumber, as the apples tend to get black and lose their crispness if stored for longer. Serve it immediately after you make it.

    In case you have leftovers, store them in an air-tight container in the fridge and finish them within a day. Mix the salad properly using a spoon before consuming.
