Ingredients
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 medium tomatoes (finely diced)
- 1 small zucchini (or half of a large zucchini, finely diced)
- 1 small jalapeno pepper (minced. Deseed and remove ribs if sensitive to heat)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (finely chopped. Mint is a fine substitute)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or lime juice, You can replace with a tablespoon or two of white vinegar)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Chop all veggies to roughly the same size--a small dice is preferable. You should have roughly a cup of onions, a cup of tomatoes and a cup of zucchini, although it doesn't really matter if you go slightly over or under with one.
- Add all vegetables to a bowl followed by the minced jalapeno, cilantro, lemon juice and salt.
- Toss well to mix. Let the Kachumber stand 10 minutes for the flavors to marry, then serve.
