Name: Crispy Falafel Salad
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 16 pieces Pre-made falafel balls; 250 g Mixed salad greens; 1 large Cucumber; 300 g Cherry tomatoes; 0.5 medium Red onion; 100 g Feta cheese, crumbled; 60 ml Tahini; 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice; 2 tbsp Water (or more, if needed); 1 clove Garlic, minced; 1 tbsp Olive oil; 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped; 0.25 cup Fresh mint, chopped; 0.5 tsp Salt; 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Prepare Falafel

Heat enough oil in a pan over medium heat, or preheat your oven/air fryer according to the falafel package instructions. Fry or bake the falafel balls until golden brown and crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Prepare Vegetables

While the falafel cooks, prepare the vegetables. Wash and dry the mixed salad greens. Chop the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Crumble the feta cheese, and chop the fresh parsley and mint.

Make Tahini Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth, and if it's too thick, add a little more water until you reach the desired consistency.

Assemble Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Pour half of the prepared tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently. When serving, divide the salad onto plates, place 3-4 falafel balls on each portion, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and fresh parsley and mint. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve immediately.
