1/2 cups of almonds, chopped and toasted

1/2 medium-sized red onion, sliced thinly

PREPARATION

Begin by cooking your cup of buckwheat. To do this, pour your 2 cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a boil. While waiting for your water to boil, thoroughly rinse your buckwheat. Add it to the boiling water. Bring down the stove to low heat and simmer everything for 20 to 30 minutes or until the water has evaporated completely. Once your buckwheat is cooked, remove from heat, set aside and allow it to cool for a while.

 

While waiting for your buckwheat to cool, dump the rest of the ingredients in a bowl — sliced arugula, cubed watermelon, halved cherry tomatoes, mint leaves, chopped and toasted almonds, sliced red onions, and crumbled feta. Throw in your cooked buckwheat, toss and pour in your balsamic vinaigrette.
