- Taste and adjust to your preference. Add more salt if you prefer.
Prep the ingredients:
- Roast falafel in oven according to instructions on package.
- Slice cucumber, red onion and avocado.
- Dice tomato.
- Juliene carrot.
Assemble the bowl:
- Lay a bed of raw spinach in the bowl, then add brown rice, toasted falafel, avocado, carrot, cucumber and tomato.
- Drizzle sauce on top.
- Sprinkle a handful of sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds on top. Easy!
Notes
- Any leftover sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Omit maple syrup or substitute with your favourite sweetener instead.
- You can use any vegetables you have and omit onions if you're intolerant to high fodmap foods.
- Substitute quinoa for brown rice for an extra protein boost.
- You can make your own falafels if you wish to.
- Chipotle powder will make the sauce more spicy, but if you like it mild, paprika can be used instead.
