Serves: 2
Ingredients
1 cup buckwheat groats
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 chayote, finely diced
12 large green olives, pitted and quartered
1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cup broccoli florets, chopped

juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp white wine vinegar

Directions
- In a small saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil. Add buckwheat groats, reduce heat, cover and cook until all water has absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Remove lid and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. You can also cook your buckwheat groats the previous day and let them cool overnight.
- Add all ingredients, including cooled buckwheat to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours (or overnight) to allow for flavors to develop.
