Thank you for this recipe! This was pretty tasty as written, but felt like it was a little monotone, which may have been in my choice of dried herbs. I didn’t include any heat which is probably what it needs. Maybe whisking some olive oil, the herbs with heat, then mixing would get some more flavor throughout. When I made it I split a dozen or so cherry tomatoes and added them, which added something. Also, toasted walnuts wouldnt be bad for some crunch. Maybe sweet and hot walnuts? Anyhow, really appreciate the recipe! It was good!
Delicious! I don’t really like couscous so this was a great variation!
I was very excited to make this salad.I didn’t like the smell of buckwheat,when I cooked it. So, I changed my mind.
no changes…will make it again

This is a refreshing dish that only those who are sensitive to gluten will care that it is gluten free. I added some fresh hot peppers to spice it up. Leave it to sit for an hour or so to help the flavours get acquainted. Thank you for the recipe.
MMMM. Really good Kasha recipe. Would be even better with tomatoes (I skipped out b/c of allergies in the family). Will definitely be making again. Thanks!
