Gluten-Free Buckwheat Avocado Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup buckwheat groats
1 small avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
5 cherry tomatoes, diced
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground mixed peppercorns
1/4 cup soft goat cheese, crumbled

Preparation

Combine water and buckwheat in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the buckwheat is firm yet tender to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse buckwheat under cold water and drain.
Stir avocado, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, red onion, olive oil, parsley, fennel seed, cayenne pepper, and mixed pepper together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Add buckwheat groats and stir gently; top with goat cheese.
