For an extra layer of flavor, toast the buckwheat groats in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before cooking. This will enhance their nutty taste. If you prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor, you can use 2 cloves of garlic instead of one. Adjust to your taste. Feel free to add other vegetables to the tabbouleh, such as diced tomatoes or bell peppers, for added color and nutrients. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to develop as it sits.
