  • 3 tomatoes cut into 8 pieces each, seeds and pulp removed
  • 2 tbsps mustard oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red chilli powder

Preparation:

  • Put the cucumber and tomato in a bowl and keep aside till dressing is ready.
  • To make the dressing, put mustard oil, lime juice, salt and red chilli powder in a glass or plastic bowl and whisk till well blended.
  • Pour over the cucumber and tomato and mix well with a spoon. The salad is ready to serve! It tastes great with a simple rice and Daal meal!
