Method
Step 1
Place the tahini, chilled water and dried chilli flakes in a small jug. Season with pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, turning halfway, for 5-6 mins, or until charred and just softened. Transfer to a plate. Heat remaining oil in the pan. Add the falafel and cook, turning, for 1-2 mins or until browned and heated through.
Step 3
Place salad leaves, beetroot, mint, dill and walnuts in a bowl and toss to combine. Divide salad among serving plates. Top with onion and falafel. Drizzle with tahini mixture and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds to serve.
