Method
Preparation
Chop the Vegetables
Begin by washing the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion under cold running water. Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon. Cut the cucumber into small dice. Next, chop the tomatoes into similar-sized small pieces. Finally, slice the red onion thinly.
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Toss them gently to ensure even distribution.
Seasoning and Serving
Add Seasonings
Pour the lemon juice over the mixed vegetables. Add salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix everything gently but thoroughly to ensure that the vegetables are well-coated with the seasonings.
Serve
Let the kachumber sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve it fresh as a side dish or a salad.
