Buckwheat salad with bacon and tomatoes is an original combination of traditional Russian ingredients that gives the dish a rich flavor and texture. Buckwheat, with its nutty aroma and tender fluffiness, pairs perfectly with crispy fried bacon. Juicy tomatoes add freshness, while parsley and grated cheese enrich the taste with a light spiciness. Olive oil and lemon juice give the dish a refined tanginess, making it not only tasty but also healthy. This salad can be a light dinner or a nutritious addition to the main course.
