Buckwheat Tabbouleh Salad - the perfect summer salad that's light on the stomach yet very satisfying, healthy, and wholesome!

Buckwheat Tabbouleh Salad vegan glutenfree recipe

Hot Indian summers call for fresh, light foods that are easy to digest and are also very nourishing. This Buckwheat Tabbouleh Salad ticks all the boxes. It's very simple to prepare and tastes fabulous. You can eat it on its own, or pair it with some grilled paneer or chicken and serve it with pita for a bigger heartier meal.

ย Also known as Tabouli, this is a Middle Eastern vegetarian salad made with Bulgar wheat, fresh tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and loads of parsley and mint. The dressing is simply olive oil and lemon juice. This salad truly celebrates the fresh green herbs. There are variations of this salad with couscous too. Here, I've used buckwheat groats which I absolutely love.

Buckwheat is not related to wheat as does not grow on grass. It's a pseudocereal with a variety of healthful properties. Itโ€™s an excellent plant source of easily digestible protein and contains all eight essential amino acids, which is wonderful for vegetarians. ย Buckwheat is also high in fiber and B Vitamins. Since it's gluten-free, it's a perfect substitute for grain for all those with gluten sensitivity.

Buckwheat Groats
Cooked Buckwheat Groats

While I use buckwheat flour extensively for baking, I enjoy the groats too. They taste so deliciously nutty and have a slightly chewy texture, somewhat like barley. This makes the dishes they are added to fairly hearty, yet not heavy at all.

This really is a no-fuss recipe. Once the buckwheat groats are rinsed and drained, you cook them, very much like rice. And while the buckwheat is cooking, you get to the chopping part. To get the right texture, all the vegetables need to be chopped as finely as possible. A sharp knife is your best friend here! Add as much parsley and mint as you'd like. Gently mix in the cooled groats... A splash of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste and your salad is ready!

Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others.ย Thatโ€™sย whyย Iโ€™mย always eager to hear from you.ย So go right ahead & drop a comment or reach out onย Instagram,ย Pinterest,ย YouTube, orย Facebook. I hope you love this buckwheat tabbouleh salad as much as we do!
