Ingredients
Scale
Falafel
- 1 package of falafel (frozen or homemade)
Feta Cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Lemon Tahini Dressing

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Water (as needed for consistency)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cucumber
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
Fresh Herbs
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the Falafel: Start by either frying or baking your falafel according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe. If baking, preheat the oven and place the falafel on a lined baking sheet, drizzling them with a little olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Make the Lemon Tahini Dressing: In a bowl, combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, water, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
- Chop the Vegetables: Dice the cucumber and any additional veggies you want to include. Fresh herbs can be roughly chopped to release their flavors.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, start with a layer of greens or grains, add the falafel, and top with cucumber, crumbled feta, and a generous drizzle of lemon tahini dressing.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish off with your choice of herbs, nuts, or any additional toppings you love, and enjoy your delicious Falafel Bowl with Feta, Lemon Tahini & Cucumber!
Notes
- Soak Chickpeas: If making falafel from scratch, soak dried chickpeas overnight for the best texture.
- Don’t Skip the Herbs: Fresh herbs elevate the dish, so use them generously.
- Adjust the Tahini: Feel free to tweak the tahini dressing to your taste by adding more lemon or garlic.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the falafel while cooking to avoid burning.
- Prep Ahead: Prepare the dressing and chop veggies in advance for quicker assembly.
