It’s Friday and I’m in the mood for falafel AND I’m in the mood for a salad so let’s combine the two for a delicious Middle Eastern dinner. Oh, and the hummus dressing is pretty darned good too.
- 1 Cup Fresh Parsley
- 1 Onion (Thinly Sliced)
- 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
- 2 Cups Cooked Chickpeas
- 1 Large Egg (Lightly Beaten)
- 1 1/2 Cups Panko Breadcrumbs
- 2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes (Quartered)
- 10 Ounces Hummus
- 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- Vegetable Oil (For Frying)
- 2 Romaine Lettuce Hearts (Chopped
- 1 Cup Mixed Greens Or Spinach
- Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In food processor or blender finely chop half of parsley, half of sliced onion, cumin, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper. This will make a paste. In large-size bowl mash chickpeas making sure to leave some whole. Add parsley mixture to chickpeas. Add beaten egg and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Stir to combine. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- In medium-size bowl combine quartered tomatoes, remaining parsley, remaining onion, and 1/2-teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
- In medium-size bowl whisk hummus and yogurt.
- Place remaining breadcrumbs on baking sheet. With tablespoon scoop out chickpea mixture and roll in breadcrumbs to coat and form a ball. Repeat until all chickpea mixture is used.
- Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Place in heated oil and fry for 6 minutes until golden. Make sure to turn often to ensure all sides are cooked evenly. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
- In large-size serving bowl toss lettuce and salad greens with half hummus dressing. Top with tomato mixture and falafel. Serve with remaining hummus dressing.
- Serves 4
