I have become obsessed with buckwheat. Is is a perfect grain -- nutty, toothsome, and cooking in under 10 minutes. It is unrelated to wheat and therefore tolerated by those with wheat sensitivities. With a low GI index, it is a great way to bulk out salads. Plus, you can use it for stuffing pillows (uncooked, that is). AND, an individual buckwheat is called a groat. It doesn't get better!
1/2 C. cooked buckwheat
1 large tomato, chopped
Equal amount of cucumber, chopped
1/3 C. cannellini beans
crumbled Feta, to taste
Fresh parsley
salt and pepper
1 T. olive oil
Squeeze of lemon, to taste
Whisk together olive oil and lemon, adjusting quantities to taste. Combine all remaining ingredients, and stir dressing through.
Serves 1
