Step 1 Boil buckwheat: Wash it and then cover with water in proportion 1:2 ( one cup of buckwheat to two cups of water). Add salt, bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and boil for about 30 minutes. Buckwheat should be crumbly, not sticking together. Step 2 While the buckwheat is boiling, make the salad. Cut the tomatoes, cucumbers, radish and lettuce to medium pieces. Mix them in a large bowl with chickpeas. Add salt and pepper by taste and other ingredients. Squeeze lemon juice into the salad and mix with all the ingredients. Step 3 When the buckwheat is ready, add it to the vegetables and mix everything together. Add more lemon juice if you wish. Bon appetite!
