June 7, 2015February 25, 2018 Melissa King 13 Comments

I am a huge salad freak. I love all kinds if you haven’t guessed by now. I really enjoy the simplicity of this easy tomato summer salad. You can make it with just a few ingredients.

You may already have them all in your pantry. This tomato summer would be great for any summer party. It fits any diet since it’s vegan, gluten free and paleo.

If you wanted to stretch it out, you can always serve it with quinoa as well. If you love salads too, you may love my post on 18 Quick and Healthy Salad Ideas or my Healthy Salad Dressing Recipes post.

It literally takes a few minutes to make this. I personally think it tastes even better after about 30 minutes. Once the flavors have time to marinate. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Buckwheat Avocado Summer Salad (Vegan)

Buckwheat Avocado Summer Salad. Have you tried buckwheat? Buckwheat is a great alternative to rice. Despite the name, it’s actually gluten free and a similar texture to rice.

Ever since I heard about the arsenic levels in rice, I have been looking for another alternative. Don’t get me wrong, I still eat rice – just not as much as I used to. This buckwheat avocado summer salad is so good and the colors are great too! If you like salads you may also like this post.

Traditionally, when I think of buckwheat, I think of pancakes or other sweet breakfasts. However, buckwheat is great in savory dishes as is the case with this buckwheat summer salad.

This salad was inspired by my wheat berry salad. One of our favorites. I hope you enjoy it as well!
