Pears and walnuts are certainly a perfectly matched pair. The juicy sweetness of pears and the slight bitterness of walnuts harmonise very well with each other. Together with red onion, parsley and spices, they form a successful composition of flavours.

It is a piece of cake to prepare such a salad, and it is also quick and painless. The salad is a good idea for brunch as well as for a starter, which you can treat your guests to before the main dish appears on the table.

ingredients

150 g roasted buckwheat
60 g walnuts
1 small red onion
3-4 pears
1 handful of parsley
4 tablespoons olive oil
half a lemon

spices:

a good pinch of Himalayan salt
a good pinch of herbal pepper or black pepper
½ teaspoon thyme

recipe

Cook the buckwheat in salted water until tender. Rinse the walnuts in cold water and roast in a dry frying pan (because they will be much more delicious and aromatic). Cut the red onion into half moon slices, then into half again, and the pears into cubes. Chop the parsley, squeeze the juice out of half a lemon and prepare the spices and olive oil. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and ... the salad is ready! It is hard to believe that such a tasty salad requires so little time and effort.
