Falafel Bowls

Ingredients
Falafel Bowl Components
- 2 cups quinoa salad
- 1 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup tahini dill dressing
- 12 pieces falafel baked
- 4 cups arugula or other greens for serving, fresh
Instructions
- Prepare the individual components, including the quinoa salad, hummus (or use store-bought), falafel, and tahini dressing. Use the links above if you need recipes, or use your own if you already have a favorite.
- To assemble, spread a 1/4 cup of hummus on the bottom of the plate, followed by a large scoop of quinoa salad (about 1/2 cup). Add 1 cup of fresh arugula, along with 2 to 3 falafel patties. (If using cold falafel, you can reheat in a pan over medium-high with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 2 minutes on each side.) Drizzle with tahini dill dressing, and serve right away.
Notes
- Reheat cold falafel in a pan with olive oil for 2 minutes per side to restore crispness.
- Feel free to add chopped vegetables or other toppings to customize the falafel bowl.
