Cucumber Pomegranate Salad

A bright side dish to perk up your mealtimes. Cucumber and pomegranate are loaded with antioxidants, and when they come together, they make a salad that’s the very definition of healthy gorgeousness.

Chaat masala can be replaced with a sprinkling of kala namak if that works better for you.
