Buckwheat Salad with Arugula and Pomegranate

Serve this refreshing salad as a light lunch by itself, or top it with seared chicken for a more substantial meal. Raw buckwheat groats cook fast. You can cook them up to a day prior to making this salad or just beforehand. Make sure the buckwheat has cooled completely before putting together the salad! You'll need to cook 1½ cups of raw buckwheat groats for this recipe. Other leftover whole grains can be used instead such as millet or short grain brown rice.
