A kachumber is a lovely light salad and you can practically make with anything. This is a gorgeous corn salad that is sweet and vibrant and when it's mixed with fresh tomatoes, cucumber and dressed with a tangy Indian spiced dressing it makes this makes a superb healthy side. You can have it for lunch, as a barbeque side or even as a delicate little starter. Do try and get hold of some crispy corn kernels to sprinkle over this as it adds texture and another layer of delicious flavour.
