Ingredients

  • 200 g quinoa washed
  • 1 cucumber finely cute
  • 200 g mixed leafy greens lettuce, spinach, rocket etc.
  • falafel mix linked in notes

For the lemon garlic cabbage

  • 1 head of cabbage finely shredded
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

To serve

  • fresh parsley
  • hummus recipe linked in notes
  • pomegranate seeds fresh or frozen

Instructions

  • Cook quinoa according to package instructions. I recommend cooking it in vegetable broth to add flavour.
  • Place the shredded cabbage in a large pan and cook for 15 minutes or until soft. Use a splash of water to prevent sticking. Then add garlic, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Once the cabbage starts to slightly brown, add the lemon juice and turn off the heat.
  • In the meantime, prepare your falafel according to package instructions. I have linked the exact falafel mixed I used in the notes.
  • Assemble your salad by adding mixed leafy greens, quinoa, cucumber, lemon garlic cabbage, falafel, hummus, pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley to a bowl.

Notes
