Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper

Pickle the shallot & bake the falafels

Greek salad time

  • Thinly slice the cucumber into 1/2cm thick half-moons. Quarter the tomatoes. Dice the feta into 1cm cubes
  • In the other medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, oregano, feta and remaining vinegar. Toss together with a pinch of salt and pepper and 1 tsp olive oil

Make the tahini dressing

  • Put the tahini pot in the small bowl filled with hot water for 1 min to loosen
  • Empty and dry the bowl, then add the tahini, honey and yoghurt with a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth
  • Pick the mint leaves from the stalks, roughly tear and toss though the pickled shallot, along with the salad leaves. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up
