Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat oats
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup frozen or canned corn strained
- pepper to taste
- ½ bunch cilantro (about ⅓ cup chopped)
- ½ cup finely chopped purple cabbage
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 large Jalapeño seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 large red pepper bell pepper (about 1 ½ cup, finely chopped)
- ⅓ cup crumbled Feta cheese
CHILI LIME DRESSING
- ⅔ cup boiling water
- ⅓ cup raw cashews unsalted
- 1 lime juiced
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
Instructions
COOK BUCKWHEAT GROATS:
- Add the groats, roasted corn, water (or vegetable broth), kosher salt, and pepper to the instant pot.
- Push the rice button or cook for 10 minutes. While that’s cooking, let’s make the chili lime dressing.
MAKE CHILI LIME DRESSING:
- Add the boiling water and cashews to a high-speed blender. Put the lid on. Allow the cashews to soak for 10 minutes.
- When ready, pop open that lid and add the juice of the lime, chili powder, garlic powder, maple syrup, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend until a smooth and creamy dressing forms.
- Add a little more hot water if the sauce is too thick. Or, add more soaked cashews if the sauce is too thin.
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
- Open the nozzle to the instant pot to release all of the pressure that it has accumulated.
- Transfer the groats and corn to a large mixing bowl. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, add the cilantro, purple cabbage, green onion, jalapenos, and red bell pepper, and toss generously to combine all ingredients.
- Add the creamy-dreamy chili lime dressing and toss until all ingredients are fully coated.
- Garnish with additional slices of jalapeno and feta.
Notes
- Make it vegan. Omit the cheese or use dairy-free instead.
- Don't have limes? Use lemons instead.
- Don't like cilantro? Use parsley.
- Don't like spice? Add half the amount or simply omit it.
- How long does this recipe last? Store in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
