Falafel Medallion Salad

I can't believe it's taken this long for me to discover how amazing falafel is. Lately, I've been a pretty big fan of fancy salads with all the fixins but this salad is my favorite right now.

Falafel is a Middle Eastern dish made of smashed chick peas and spices that's then fried into small patties or balls. Amazing.

Often, you can find a falafel mix in the grocery stores that's ready to cook or you can make your own. I've used a pre-made mix here but I think in the future I'll try making my own!

To make this salad:
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan until the oil is shimmering. Add small teaspoonfuls of the falafel and flatten into little patties. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Serve the falafel medallions while still warm on a bed of fancy lettuce with mushrooms, feta cheese, spring onion, and garlic avocado dressing.

Enjoy!

      I wish it was a 50mm! I just used a regular 18-55mm, the one that comes standard in the kit. We had a 50mm but Audrey broke it and we can't afford to replace it. So so sad.

      Nin, mine are raw here but I've also done them cooked with some garlic. To tell the truth, though, I prefer the raw.
