What is Oil-Free Buckwheat Salad?

Oil-Free Buckwheat Salad combines cooked, cooled buckwheat groats with fresh vegetables and often herbs. It is best understood as a flexible homemade grain salad rather than a dish tied to one particular regional tradition. Buckwheat has a gently nutty flavour, and the cooked groats stay pleasantly firm, making them a good base for crisp, juicy additions such as cucumber and tomato.

Serve it chilled or at room temperature for lunch, as a light main, or alongside grilled vegetables or fish. It suits a plant-based meal and is naturally gluten-free when prepared with suitable ingredients. At 95 calories per 100 g, it is a relatively light salad, while its fibre helps give it more substance than a simple leafy side. Add lemon and fresh herbs for brightness, or stir in beans if you would like a heartier bowl.
