Ingredients

Scale

Falafel

  • 68 falafel patties (store-bought or homemade)

Vegetables & Toppings

  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, diced

Instructions

  1. Cook Falafel: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the falafel patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and heated through.
  2. Prepare Bowl Base: Place the fresh baby spinach evenly at the bottom of a bowl to create the base.
  3. Add Hummus: Spoon the hummus on one side of the bowl over the spinach, spreading it slightly for ease of eating.
  4. Assemble Vegetables: Arrange the sliced cucumber and diced tomato on the other side of the bowl, balancing freshness with the other ingredients.
  5. Top with Falafel: Place the cooked falafel neatly on top of the spinach and vegetables, completing the bowl.
  6. Serve: Optionally drizzle with olive oil or lemon juice, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Falafel can be baked instead of pan-fried for a lighter version.
  • Use homemade hummus or your favorite store-bought brand.
  • Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or mint for extra flavor.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the falafel is made without wheat flour.
