Ingredients
1/4-pound broccoli
3-3/4 ounces sprouted buckwheat
2-1/2 ounces cucumbers
2-1/4 ounces tomatoes
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Dressing
1/2 tbsp Dijon style mustard
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tbsp olive oil infused with lemon
1/2 tbsp lakanto maple syrup
3-1/2 grams basil
3-1/2 grams mint leaves
1/2 tsp za'atar blend
1/2 tsp magic mediterranean
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
Directions
To cook the buckwheat, combine one part buckwheat with two parts water or broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over the stove top. Once it has reached a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Set aside and let cool. In a small mixing bowl, add the dressing ingredients and whisk them together thoroughly. Place the broccoli in your food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds until minced. Transfer this mixture to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked quinoa, cubed cucumber, diced tomatoes and pumpkin seeds to the large mixing bowl. Add the dressing, salt and black pepper and combine. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
