Buckwheat Tabbouleh
I'm finally back in the kitchen! I can remember sitting down with a friend of mine before getting married last year and trying to decide on a hobby for myself. I needed something to keep busy while living away from friends and family in NY but just couldn't think of anything I enjoyed doing. I am so thankful that I found love in cooking/baking! I would have never thought that cooking and baking could make me happy let alone relax me, but they do. I saw this recipe on Angela's blog Oh She Glows a few weeks ago and fell in love with the vibrant colors. I didn't adapt it at all and take zero credit for this wonderful recipe!
Ingredients: (taken from this recipe of Oh She Glows)
-Bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, pour in the cup of buckwheat and simmer for 20 minutes on stove top.
-While buckwheat is simmering, chop all of your veggies.
-After 20 minutes of simmering, drain the buckwheat and combine them with the vegetables in a large bowl. Pour on the lemon and olive oil and mix well.
-Serve with tortillas, bread, hummus, etc.!
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups Italian parsley
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- juice of 1 lemon (2 if you want)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste

This salad is so refreshing! I am excited to eat this for lunch this week. It is easy to make and easy to take on-the-go. Like Angela said, it is perfect for spring.

Thank you :) I actually get so frustrated with lighting in our apartment-there is only 1 spot with good light! I cannot wait to have a bright and sunny kitchen one day-it is definitely a must when we eventually buy a house.
This looks fantastic! This buckwheat tabbouleh salad is the perfect summer salad. It is very satisfying, healthy and wholesome!
