Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/2 tsp mild, 1 1/2 tsp medium, 2 tsp spicy and 1 tbsp extra-spicy! Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Peel cucumber, if desired, then cut into 1/4-inch rounds.
Heat a small pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic. Cook, stirring often, until garlic is fragrant, 30 sec. Stir in bulgur, broth concentrate, 1/2 tsp salt and 3/4 cup water (dbl both for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat. Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-16 min. Fluff bulgur with a fork.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp oil, then falafel. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 ppl if needed, using 2 tbsp oil per batch.) Pan-fry until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side.
Meanwhile, add hummus, mayo, half the parsley, 2 tbsp warm water (dbl for 4 ppl) and 1 1/2 tsp hot sauce to a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The hummus dressing and falafel combination is well-loved, though some found the dressing mayo-heavy; adding lemon juice or extra hummus can brighten the overall flavour.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward meal to put together, and reviewers consistently appreciated how little time it takes on a weeknight.
- Suggestions: Reduce the mayo in the dressing and increase the hummus for a more balanced flavour; some reviewers also recommend adding tomatoes to the tabbouleh and a drizzle of honey over the falafel. Consider adding feta or pumpkin seeds for extra richness and texture.
- Leftovers: Several reviewers noted the salad-to-grain ratio felt off, with too much spring mix relative to the bulgur and falafel; adjusting portions at assembly helps balance the bowl.
- Portions: Many reviewers felt the falafel quantity was too low for two people, and suggest serving at least three to four pieces per person for a more satisfying meal.
