Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

1. Prepare the Crust:
  1. Combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, baking soda, flour, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarse and holds together when pressed.
  2. Form the mixture into small patties, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook falafel patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Assemble bowls by dividing mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion among four bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with falafel, a dollop of hummus, and crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes
