For a vegan option, omit the goat cheese or substitute with a plant-based alternative. Toast the buckwheat groats in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking to enhance their nutty flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables like cucumber or bell pepper for extra crunch and nutrients. The salad is best served immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
