- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 2 tbsp basil leaves chopped
- 2 tbsp mint leaves chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juiced
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ⅛ tsp sea salt, unrefined
- ⅛ tsp black pepper, ground ground
- ½ cup hummus
- 1 cup English cucumber sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup Kalamata olives
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup radishes quartered

Instructions
- Prepare couscous and falafel according to their packages.

Notes
- Feel free to prep the couscous ahead of time, up to 2 days in advance.
- If you want to try homemade falafel, check out the Lebanese falafel recipe by Feel Good Foodie.
- Swap out any veggies listed for ones you have on hand. Tomatoes, other leafy greens, bell peppers or cooked sweet potato all works great in this bowl as well.
- Instead of eating it bowl-style, cut a pita in half and stuff with the couscous mixture + all the vegetables and falafel for a great hand-held option.
