Cook the Buckwheat

Start by rinsing the buckwheat under cold water. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the buckwheat, and simmer until it's tender but still chewy, about 12-15 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Sausage and Vegetables

While the buckwheat is cooking, slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces and pan-fry them until golden brown. Set aside. Next, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the cucumber. Set these aside as well.

Crumble the Cheese

Take the cheese (feta or a similar crumbly cheese works best) and roughly crumble it into small chunks. Set aside for later assembly.

Assemble the Dish

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked buckwheat, fried sausage slices, crumbled cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices. Toss everything gently until well-combined.

Serve

Serve the assembled dish immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold salad option. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful meal!
