How to Make this Creamy Cucumber Pasta Salad:

This is such an easy recipe, y’all. Seriously. Yes to Summer recipes that don’t require hardly any effort!

1. First, begin by cooking your pasta according to the box instructions! Make sure to salt your water and cook the pasta until al dente. Once it’s done, let it cool! If desired, rinse cold water over top to stop the cooking and speed up the cooling process.

Cook pasta. drizzle with oil

Sprinkle pepper and toss to coat evenly.

2. While the pasta is cooling off, slice up your cucumber! Slice it in half lengthwise and then slice very thin slices of cucumber.

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise

remove seeds using a spoon

Dice it into thin slices.

and its done !!

3. Do the same thing with the red onion! Thin slices go a long way here, folks! While it’s not required, soaking the onions in cold water for a few minutes takes just a little bit of bite out of them. .

Thinly slice onion

place in a bowl of cold water

4. Next, mix together the delicious Greek yogurt dill dressing! Combine the Greek yogurt with the dill, vinegar, salt (i added the pink salt) and pepper. Mix until deliciously thick and creamy. Set this aside.

Mix dressing ingredients

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

5. In a large bowl, add your cooled off pasta. On top, add your cucumbers, onions and all of the Greek yogurt dressing! Mix together gently until fully combined.

Add pasta, cucumber and onion

Pour dressing over it.

6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. I always love garnishing with a big pinch of extra dill – it makes it taste extra fresh and adds an amazing pop of flavor.

Toss to combine

sprinkle some extra dill (if desired)

7. Let it sit in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to make sure all of the flavors can melt together and it can stay cold! Enjoy when chilled and eat up! 🙂

Note: If possible try to toss this at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Looking for something more adventurous than your usual Kachumber salad? Try this tasty Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad, a crunchy, squeaky pickle salad that would be amazing alongside a super fatty main dish, like this Chicken Biryani. But don’t worry, it’s not one briny mouthful, there are a lot of different textures going on between the crisp onions, crunchy pickles, red cabbage and juicy carrots.

Photo: Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad Recipe

I like to experiment with creating no-cook dishes that can be easily thrown together at the last minute. I especially enjoy playing with the salads I’ve learned and putting a new spin on them, using whatever ingredients I have on hand to create something entirely new.

This salad happened during one of my kitchen experiments. Things I really love in spring:
1. Super crisp, crunchy salads
2. Juicy Colorful Veggies
So clearly it make sense to combine these two faves into one, right?

Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad

I started with a simple family recipe for a Kachumbar salad. But for a change, I used the homemade pickled Cucumber, onion and baby carrots, vinegar, salt for this recipe. then tweaked the dressing and added some stuff I found in the fridge—red radishes and half a red cabbage. The result is a delightfully flavorful salad—cold, crunchy, pickled and easy to throw together at a moment’s notice. I call it my Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad.

Phot: Crunchy Pickled Kachumber Salad Recipe

Some Useful Tips
- If you like pickle vegetables, you’re going to love this salad. You can use store bought pickles or make your own by following my recipe.
- Usually, we tend to favor pickles that are bright with acid and low on sugar; anything labeled “half-sour” usually fits the bill. If using sweeter pickles, add a bit more vinegar and black salt. And honestly, you can use whatever pickles you want in this recipe.
- Organic cucumbers are smaller and thinner than non organic cucumbers. They are smaller and slightly sweeter than the non-organic variety, and they have less seeds. Organic cucumbers are great for snacking. They have a wonderful mineral flavor to them. Unfortunately some grocery stores only carry Organic cucumbers seasonally, and some don’t carry them at all.
- If you can’t find them, substitute Non-organic cucumbers—those are the long thin ones wrapped tightly in plastic. Avoid using regular fat cucumbers, as they are coated with wax and prone to bitterness.
This is my favourite salad to serve with my Restaurant Style Lahori Mutton Karahi recipe. It just works so well with Tawa fish and the sweetness of the Apricot Chutney. I highly recommend serving this up with some extra Cucumber on the side.

Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

This salad came to my mind right as I was falling asleep.

Does your brain ever do crazy stuff like that? My best ideas seem to come when I’m about to doze off and don’t have a notebook or pen to write things down, so I just make a pact with my brain to remember. And the next day we both do our best to recall what we were thinking.

Thankfully, this one made it through the pipeline! Three cheers for my old lady brain still working!

Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

I’ve made many a Bean salad before, but this one is special. This is the answer to the question, “What’s super cozy, flavorful and perfect for any BBQ Party?” It’s a great addition to any summer get together!

This Pakistani/Italian flavor pairing came to mind, and the recipe is adapted from my all-time favorite Bean Salad. One super easy thing you can prep ahead is beans. I love beans because you can make them so many different ways and they’re packed with protein, slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber. Their nutritional profile makes them ideal for prepping before a workout and recovering after a workout. If you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, they’re great for that too since they make you feel full longer.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy beans during the warmer months is with my Bean Salad. It’s super easy to make and it tastes really yummy too! This recipe is simple, requiring just 10 minutes to prepare! You can eat it all on its own (what I normally do) or dress it up by adding some more chopped veggies to it. It’s also great added to some greens either in a wrap or in a salad.

Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

The dressing is SO easy (and dreamy).

Italian herbs are blended with vinegar . Add olive oil water to thin and ‘voila!’ You have a super yummy, tangy Italian dressing ready to coat those gorgeous bean salad. Look at that salad goodness.

I hope you all LOVE this Bean salad! It’s:
- Hearty
- Flavorful
- Vegetable-packed
- Fiber- & Protein-rich
- Tangy + Crunchy
- Super healthy & Delicious
This would make the perfect side dish for BBQ Party, or any get together, really. It yields four entrée-sized portions or 8 sides, so multiply as needed. Although it’s delicious on its own, it would pair extremely well with my Grilled Lamb Chops, and my Grilled Italian Chicken.

Bismillah, let’s get started the recipe!!

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) Recipe

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

I think it’s time that I take a quick break from the highly caloric Iftar snacks I’ve been posting about recently, and share a favorite healthy recipe. This Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) is a traditional Pakistani Iftar Staple. We love munching on it throughout the year, but it’s especially nice in the summer after a long day of fasting. Known as a salad in the West and a savory snack or “Chaat” in the East. This low-fat dish has traveled a long way from Pakistan to make its way onto Iftar tables in South Asia and lunch/dinner tables across the rest of the world.

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat)

The acidic and tart flavors of tamarind chutney, the sweetness of the apricot chutney and the cooling taste of mint chutney balances the palette out immaculately. A well made Spicy Chickpea Salad (or Chana Chaat) will enable you to taste all these flavors independently with each spoonful.

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) with Tamarind and Apricot Chutney

Playing around with food textures is also an important part of cooking, and creating this dish gives you that freedom with the crunchy onions, juicy tomatoes and soft chickpeas. Explore the art of South Asian cooking with this simple, low fat yet palette-exciting recipe.
