Ingredients

Falafel Bowls:

Lemon Vinaigrette:

  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Make The Vinaigrette:

  • Whisk together all the lemon vinaigrette ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Reserve.

Falafel Bowls:

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the greens, tomatoes, red onions. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad, tossing to combine. Divide the greens into the base of four bowls. 
  • Top each bowl with 2-3 cooked falafels, feta cheese, and olives. Add a dollop of mustard hummus to each bowl.
  • Serve immediately with pita bread or chips, if desired.

Notes

 
Store: These falafel salad bowls are best eaten the day they are assembled. If you have any leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but keep in mind that the veggies might become soggy with time. 
Recipe Tips:
  • Swap the hummus for Tzataziki sauce.
  • Falafel. I am not a fan of store-bought falafel. I highly recommend making your own. You can even prepare the falafel mixture and form the patties beforehand, then freeze them to use whenever (no need to thaw ahead of time, you can cook falafel from frozen). Or, if you do live near a good Middle Eastern restaurant, pick up some freshly cooked falafels there.
  • Vegan. Omit the feta cheese to keep these dinner bowls vegan.
