Instructions

Pickle cucumber
1
  • Thinly slice cucumber.
  • Add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min. Remove from heat, then add cucumbers. Transfer cucumbers, including liquid, to a large bowl. Set aside in the fridge to cool. Rinse out pot.
Cook couscous
2
  • Add cumin-turmeric spice blend, 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to the same pot used to pickle cucumber. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous and cranberries. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and let stand.
Toast almonds
3
  • Add almonds to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Toast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway until golden, 2-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
  • Transfer to a plate.
Warm falafel
4
  • Add falafel and 3/4 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) oil to the same baking sheet used to toast almonds. Toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown crisp, 6-9 min.
Finish prep
5
  • While falafel roast, finely chop parsley.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Add spicy mayo, garlic, half the parsley and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pickling liquid to a small bowl. Stir to mix.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Add cranberries, almonds and remaining parsley. Stir to mix.
Finish and serve
6
  • Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pickling liquid from cucumbers. Add spring mix and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Divide salad between plates. Top with cousous and falafel.
  • Dollop hummus over top.
  • Drizzle spicy garlic sauce over top.
