Falafel Salad

My favorite way to use up leftover falafel  An easy nutricious and delicious salad!

September 2012 080

Ingredients:

1 cup of Left Over Falafel, crumbled
1 cup of Steamed Broccoli, chopped
1/2 cup Grapes
1/4 cup Sliced Almonds
1/4 cup of Tahini Dressing

Ingredient Explanation:

Fresh broccoli steamed a little al dente works best and 1/4 cup of tahini dressing  is what works for me, go slow and add as much as suits you. 

Directions:

Put in a bowl and mix it up.  This should probably be two servings but I usually house the whole thing!  It's delicious!

Tahini Dressing

This is a favorite dressing if you are in the mood for falafel or just want something different.


This is an easy one to throw together at anytime.  The general rule is:

Equal parts Tahini (sesame paste) to cold water
For every 1/4 cup of tahini add 1 Tb. fresh squeezed lemon juice and 1 tsp. salt

For example:

1/4 cup Tahini
1/4 cup Cold Water
1 Tb Lemon Juice
1 tsp. Salt

Whisk together and let sit for a few minutes so that it will thicken a bit and meld the flavors. 

Enjoy!
