1 cup lettuce, chopped
1½ cups diced colored bell peppers
1½ cups diced celery
1½ cups diced red onion

¼ cup unfiltered apple juice
¼ cup walnut or hazelnut oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1½ teaspoons sea salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buckwheat groats (kasha)
½ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
Directions:
1. Combine chopped spinach, lettuce, peppers, celery, onion, and scallions in a large bowl.
2. Whisk lemon juice, apple juice, oil, mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified. Pour over vegetables and toss thoroughly. Set aside.
3. Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan and add the buckwheat and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
