Buckwheat & Lentil Greek-style Salad Recipe

It must be summer because all these salad ideas and hunger for healthy fresh food comes in. Although I am a big fan of food and eating at all times, I do feel I have this natural drive for what my body needs. I was just laying down on a couch after a busy day at work, and I started to think about what I want to eat, and lentils and barley came first. I remember this peeled barley salad that I used to make, but I tweaked barley to buckwheat and added lentils. The rest of it is just greek-style veggies as I feel like eating greek salad since early morning, but couldn’t fit it in my menu today. And here we go – I have this awesome super healthy and delicious recipe for you! 

SERVES: 4

PREP TIME: 1h
