Summer Harvest
One of my favourite things about summer is the taste of sun-ripened tomatoes. And this salad allows the flavours of the other ingredients to bring out the taste even more. Everything in this dish complements each other. In my childhood this was a very common accompaniment to our Indian meals. In my culture it is called kachumber. I add some fresh mint, which was not included in the childhood version. it is easy to make and truly tastes the best in summer with tomatoes that are grown outdoors. The tomatoes I used were grown in my sister’s organic garden.

Variety of Tomatoes
According to Medical Medium, tomatoes contain critical micronutrients, phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals to support many functions of the liver. Lycopene is a beloved nutrient that the liver admires. The liver uses it to shield itself from cell damage, plus lycopene helps the liver detox red blood cells safely, smoothly, and efficiently. The fruit acids in tomatoes help keep the gallbladder healthy, helping rid sludge from the gallbladder and even reduce gallstone size.
