I like it! All good ingredients. This is my first time cooking with buckwheat groats, and I followed the package instructions – 2 c water, 1 c buckwheat for 15 minutes until all liquid absorbed. Your directions cook for 10 and drain. Will this make for a crunchier groat?
Thank you

I’m going to try this tomorrow. Have already cooked the buckwheat ahead of time. I *might* try to use up some fresh cranberries I have—chop them smaller and maybe soak them in the maple syrup….? What proteins do you recommend if I were going in that direction?

Nice. But buckwheat isn’t a grain, although it acts like it. It’s a berry.

Yes, I know it is probably way too late to win a copy of your book but just thought I had to tell you what a fantastic find it was to run into your blog. I have not tried any of your recipes yet (hey, I just found it today) but was so pleased to find recipes because this is the way I eat. I have never been a meat, potatoes and veggie kind of eater so now you know why I am so excited. The gang at the gym is going to hear all about you too as we exchange recipes almost daily. Thank you again for making my life a little easier and taste better too, I am sure.

In reply to Erika. Hmm, once I rinsed mine and tossed it with the dressing, the slimy-ness was all gone. You could try cooking it maybe 2 minutes less (taste to make sure they're tender) - every stovetop is different. Let me know if you try it again if that does the trick?

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I didn’t have all the ingredients handy to make this salad, unfortunately. However, because I had buckwheat in my pantry, I’ve made it following the instructions so I could eat with some leftover veggies. I’ve also made the dressing and it’s amazing! 🙂

I’ve cooked buckwheat before, and in both times, the buckwheat gets slimy in the salad. This time, I did rinse after cooking with cold water, but the result seem the same. Any tips or tricks? I did notice the water was all gone by the end of the 10mins, so maybe I’m overcooking the buckwheat?

Thank you so much! I love your website
