Blood Orange Arugula Buckwheat Salad

February 22, 2017 By Hana 4 Comments

Blood Orange Arugula Buckwheat Salad

There’s not so much local produce to choose from in February and so this week I’m using some juicy blood oranges from Sicily to create some simple recipes. Today’s recipe Blood Orange Arugula Buckwheat Salad is a simple variation to my  Summer Buckwheat Salad that you might have already tried. It’s a beautiful colourful salad bursting with greens, oranges and reds, just perfect to brighten your day.

You can make this salad happily all year long replacing blood oranges with oranges when out of season. It would make a lovely summer salad too during warmer days.

When making salad I always soak my buckwheat first, it’s much easier to cook and will only take 3 minutes to boil. Then simply toss with the rest of the ingredients and enjoy.

If you like to make this salad more substantial you could add in some cooked chickpeas. And if you’re not a big fan of red onion you could replace it with thinly sliced fennel which would work really well too. Enjoy!

Much Love Hxx

Author: Hana, Nirvana Cakery
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 160g raw buckwheat groats (1 cup), soaked overnight
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 handfuls arugula (rocket leaves)
  • small bunch of fresh parley
  • 3 sprigs of mint
  • sea salt
  • 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ orange, juice
  • ½ lemon, juice (optional)
  • 1 blood orange, sliced
  • 50g hazelnuts, roasted (1/3 cup)
Instructions
  1. Place raw buckwheat groats into ceramic or glass bowl, cover with plenty of water, splash of apple cider vinegar and leave to soak overnight. When ready to cook, place groats into a fine mesh sieve and rinse with plenty of running water. Bring medium pot with water to boil, carefully scoop the buckwheat in and bring back to boil. Boil for 3 minutes, strain and rinse under cold water. Leave in a sieve to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C and arrange the hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 min stirring in between until the skin looks cracked. Remove from the oven and place hazelnuts onto a cotton towel and leave to cool. Bunch the towel and rub the hazelnuts inside the towel until the skin comes off. Roughly chop and set aside.
  3. Wash the arugula. Wash and roughly chop parsley and mint.
  4. Wash and slice the orange.
  5. Place cooled buckwheat into a serving dish, add sliced onion, arugula, parsley, mint, sea salt, olive oil and orange juice and gently toss together. Top with sliced orange and roasted chopped hazelnuts.
  6. Enjoy!

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨
