Ingredients
  

For the salad
  • 12 pieces Falafel (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 cups Mixed greens (lettuce, spinach, arugula)
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium Cucumber, diced
  • ½ medium Red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup Olives (optional) Can be sliced or left whole
For the dressing
  • ¼ cup Tahini dressing
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and chop the mixed greens. Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes. If using, slice the olives or leave them whole.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the tahini dressing with fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth.
Cooking
  1. If using store-bought falafel, follow the package instructions for reheating, typically around 10-15 minutes in the oven. For homemade falafel, fry or bake them according to your preference until golden brown and crispy.
Assembly
  1. In a large serving bowl, layer the mixed greens as the base. Add the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
  2. Place the warm falafel on top of the fresh veggies. Drizzle generously with tahini dressing and toss gently.
  3. Add olives on top, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If you’re out of tahini, try using a homemade yogurt dressing—just be sure it’s Halal-friendly! Have the falafel ready just before assembling your salad to keep them warm and crispy. Avoid overcrowding your bowl or skipping the tahini dressing as it brings it all together.
