Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to cook the falafel. Bake according to the packet instructions, turning half way through.

Step 2

Slice the red onion as finely as possible and place in a bowl. Squeeze over the juice of half the lemon, add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar. Mix to combine and leave to pickle for 5 minutes whilst you prep your other veg.

Step 3

Dice the cucumber and quarter the tomatoes. Mix in a bowl along with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half, remove each half from their skins with a spoon and thinly slice. Heat the grains as directed on their packet.

Step 5

Assemble the grains, cucumber and tomato salad, avocado slices and warm falafel in a bowl with a dollop of hummus and a few pickled onions. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze more lemon if you like.
