Kachumbari By African Bites
Kachumbari is an East African, spicy, simple and flavorful, delightful onion and tomato Salad enjoyed especially in Kenya and Tanzania.

Kachumbari is the Swahili name for fresh Tomato and Onion Salad, the basic ingredients here are tomatoes and onions, and the rest is up to the cook.
You can slice it, diced it, chop it, blend it … what ever rocks your boat. I have tried it several ways and they all work.
Enjoy!
