Ingredients

  • 16 falafels Homemade recipe
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • 1/3 cup Perfect Tahini Sauce
  • 2 pieces eggplant fried eggplant salad
  • 1/3 cup tabouli salad homemade recipe
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • 3 tomatoes cut into wedges

  • 1/2 cup green olives
  • 1 cup feta cheese cut into large chunks
  • 1 pita breads cut into wedges

Notes

  • Use quality store bought Falafel, or even better, make my grandma's Falafel recipe.
  • Always fry the falafel right before eating as it tastes so much better that way.
  • Make your fixings ahead of time--they're all fridge friendly.
  • My favorite fixings include: Tabouleh or Tabouli Salad, Tahini Sauce, Grandpa's Fried Eggplant Salad and the Ultimate Hummus Dip.
  • Use any veggies you have on hand--try to include lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Radishes, feta and olives are a plus :)
  • Make this recipe low carb by skipping the bread. 
  • Use a huge platter and serve this for entertaining for brunch or dinner.
  • I can't stress enough to make this --serve falafel with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, radishes and some quality bread. Then dress it up with Tahini Sauce and Tabouleh Salad. Basically the same way you would make Falafel Sandwich.
  • If this sounds familiar, you absolutely need to try my grandma's Falafel recipe! t uses the perfect balance of chickpeas to onions, to herbs and then adds baking powder before frying. 
  • When making my  Falafel Sandwich, I definitely prefer the falafel to be hot, however with a salad like today's recipe, I would enjoy it hot or warm. I'm not a cold falafel advocate for sure! Hot to warm falafel is ideal to get the crispy texture and the perfect taste.
