Falafel and Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    In a food processor, combine cooked chickpeas, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Process until a coarse mixture forms.

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add gluten-free flour, and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into small balls or patties.

  3. 3

    Fry the Falafel

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the falafels until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced red onion, and black olives.

  5. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together Turkish olive oil, lemon juice, and balsamic dressing to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Salad

    Top the salad with the fried falafels. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
