Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the beetroot and sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm cubes. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with the ras el hanout, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender. TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it’s cooked when it is just tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Allow to cool before adding to the salad.
While the vegetables are roasting, roughly chop the cucumber and tomato. Slice the lemon into wedges. Combine the Greek yoghurt, the water and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. TIP: Add more or less lemon juice to taste. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well.
Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast for 2-3 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a small bowl.
In a medium bowl, use your hands to break each spinach falafel into quarters (don't worry if they crumble!). Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the base of the pan. Add the falafel pieces (don't forget the crumbs!) and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, or until golden. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
In a large bowl, combine the mustard, vinegar, olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add the mixed leaves, tomato, cucumber, beetroot and sweet potato and toss well to coat. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Divide the salad between plates. Top with the falafel, drizzle with the lemon yoghurt drizzle and sprinkle with the flaked almonds.
