Best Falafel Sandwich
The Best Falafel Sandwich combines crispy falafel with fresh arugula, tangy tabouli salad, sliced red onion, and bright mint leaves wrapped inside a pocket pita with a layer of creamy tahini sauce. Crushing the falafel inside the pita helps absorb the flavors from the toppings and lemon juice, creating a well-balanced vegetarian sandwich with contrasting textures and refreshing herbs. This sandwich is great for a fresh, flavorful lunch or light dinner.

Notes
- Use pita bread with a pocket to easily stuff the sandwich and avoid thick pita that doesn’t roll well.
- Prepare tabouli salad and tahini sauce ahead of time or use store-bought options for convenience.

- Feel free to add condiments to taste but include fresh mint for essential brightness.
