Typical Salads (without meat) lack proteins. Falafel is an excellent addition to salads that provides plant based proteins, taste and crunch. Coming from Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern region, it is very delicious and can be made a day in advance or the same day. It’s very filling and contains lots of herbs, garlic and onions. I love this recipe because it tastes so good and not too much work. It is a vegetarian recipe.
