How to Prepare Buckwheat and Avocado Tabbouleh [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Drain and rinse the buckwheat. Bring a small pot of water (1 cup) to a boil, and then add the buckwheat. Cook this for about 18-20 minutes. Once you turn off the heat, leave the lid on for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Add to a large bowl and allow to cool.
Next, dice the onion. Add it to the cooled buckwheat. Add a couple pinches of salt.
Juice the lemons and the limes and add them to the bowl as well, along with another few pinches of salt.
Chop the romaine and spring mix, dice the cucumber and avocado, and finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Add to the bowl as well.
Add the chia seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, and salt. Toss until well combined. Top with the olive and flax oil mixture and lemon zest, and toss once more.
