This hearty yet lively Autumn bean salad is packed with the nutritional protein punch of organic beans and buckwheat, as well as the healthy healing properties of turmeric.
Prepare the buckwheat: Soak well-rinsed buckwheat in 3 cups of filtered water for 8 hours, or overnight. Rinse thoroughly & refrigerate until required. For an alternate quick-soak method, place well-rinsed buckwheat in a heatproof bowl or pot with 2 cups of boiling water. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes, then rinse again with cold water.
Prepare the dressing: Whisk together honey, vinegar, salt, pepper and turmeric in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil until well combined. Add lemon juice and additional salt & pepper to taste.
Assemble the salad: Mix the prepared buckwheat, rinsed & drained four bean mix, green beans, beetroot, carrot, spring onions, sultanas and almonds in your serving bowl and coat well with half of the dressing. Toss through mixed greens.
Serve with leftover dressing on the side.
Store any remaining salad or dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
