Ingredients

½ cup (125 mL) uncooked buckwheat
1 ½ cups (375 mL) water

½ lemon
¼ cup (50 mL) extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp (30 mL) red wine vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) honey
1 tsp (5 mL) Greek Rub
1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt

3 cups (750 mL) diced watermelon
⅓ seedless cucumber
¼ small red onion
¼ cup (50 mL) loosely packed fresh mint leaves
4 oz (125 g) crumbled feta cheese
12 butter lettuce leaves

Directions

Combine the buckwheat and water in the Rice Cooker Plus. Microwave, covered, on HIGH for 15 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Place the buckwheat into the small Stainless Steel Mesh Colander and rinse under cold water. Place the cooled buckwheat into a medium mixing bowl.
Juice the lemon with the Citrus Juicer to measure 1 tbsp (15 mL). Add the juice and remaining dressing ingredients to the Measure, Mix & Pour^® and mix until blended.
Heat the Signature Nonstick Grill Pan and Grill Press over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes. Coat the watermelon in ¼ cup (50 mL) of the dressing, then grill, undisturbed, for 6–8 minutes. Place the watermelon in the medium colander to drain and set aside.
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use the Simple Slicer on the #2 setting to slice both halves of the cucumber at the same time, then slice the onion on the #1 setting. Add the cucumber and onion to the bowl with the buckwheat.
Grate the mint into the bowl. Add the watermelon, feta, and the remaining dressing, then toss to combine.
Evenly divide the buckwheat salad into the lettuce cups.
