* 1 cup toasted buckwheat (kasha)
* 1 lemon, zested and juiced
* 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
* 1 clove garlic, pressed
* ¼ cup olive oil
* pinch salt & pepper
* large bunch of lettuce, torn
* 1 cucumber, chopped
* 2 green onions, chopped
* handful fresh parsley, chopped



1. Add 2 cups water for every 1 cup buckwheat. Sprinkle a bit of sea salt in the water, bring it to a boil for a couple of minutes, then turn down to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Buckwheat is fully cooked when it is dry and fluffy. Do not stir the buckwheat while it is cooking.
2. Mix together the dressing by whisking the ingredients in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt & pepper, as the salt will bring the oil & vinegar together. Tear and chop the vegetables, adding them to the dressing bowl and tossing. Once the buckwheat is cooked, add it to the bowl, give it one last toss and serve.
