Notes
- If you make the falafel in advance this salad turns into a quick meal! If you don't have any falafel on hand you can easily sub in plain cooked chickpeas for a delicious protein option.
- Make sure to taste the dressing for saltiness as different companies use different amounts of salt in their blends. Adjust accordingly.
- If you are not a lemon fan, try subbing in red wine vinegar or another type of vinegar.
