- Steam the broccoli, asparagus or green beans and sugar snap peas for 10 minutes in a steamer.
- Combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a jar with a screw-top lid and shake well.
- Water sauté the onion till transparent, next add the tomatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes, then add the vegetables from the steamer, half the dressing and half the nuts and cook over a medium-low heat for a few minutes.
- Mix with the buckwheat and grated carrot and serve, sprinkled with the remaining nuts.
For the dressing:
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
