Falafel Tahini Salad
These were delicious! My mixture was pretty wet and goopy - maybe because my lentils were still very warm from cooking? I added almond flour and two tablespoons of coconut flour to the processor and they came out wonderful :)

Ingredients: 

  • 2 2/3 cups Green Lentils (cooked, drained and rinsed)

  • 1/3 cup Tahini (divided)
  • 
1/2 cup Cilantro (finely chopped)

  • 1 tsp Cumin

  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 
1 tsp Sea Salt (divided)

  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Yogurt

  • 1/4 cup Water

  • 8 cups Mixed Greens

  • 1 cup Sauerkraut
 I also like to add: avocado, mushrooms, sliced peppers, cucumbers, tomato, capers and/or olives.

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the lentils, 2/3 of the tahini, cilantro, cumin, apple cider vinegar and half the salt. 
  3. Form the mixture into balls using about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture for each ball. Place on the baking sheet and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until warmed through and firm. 
  4. Meanwhile, make the dressing by whisking together the yogurt, remaining tahini, remaining salt and water. 
  5. Divide the mixed greens onto plates and top with the lentil tahini falafels, sauerkraut and tahini yogurt dressing. Enjoy!
