Cooking Steps
- Thinly slice radish.
- To a small pot, add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Once simmering, cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat, then add radishes. Transfer radishes, including liquid, to a large bowl. Set aside in the fridge to cool.
- Rinse out the pot.
- To the same pot, 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. 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.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add almonds.
- Toast in the middle of the oven for 2-4 min, stirring halfway, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- To the same baking sheet used to toast almonds, add falafel and 3/4 tbsp (1 1/2 tbsp) oil. Toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven for 6-9 min, flipping halfway through, until golden.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Pan-fry on one side for 6-7 min, until golden. Flip, then cover and continue cooking for 6-7 min, until cooked through.** Remove from heat.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- To a small bowl, add spicy mayo, garlic, half the parsley and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pickling liquid. Stir to combine.
- Fluff couscous with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Add almonds and remaining parsley. Stir to combine.
- Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pickling liquid from pickled radish. Add spring mix and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with couscous, chicken and falafel.
- Dollop hummus over top.
- Drizzle spicy garlic sauce over top.
