BROCCOLI FALAFELS

- Transfer buckwheat to a large salad bowl. Add parsley, coriander, onion and other vegetables and toss to mix evenly.
DRESSING
- Whisk lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic and oil. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle ¾ over the salad and mix well. Mix remaining into the yoghurt.
