Falafel Pita

Step 1

If using a large pita, I find it easiest to slice the pita in half and open the pockets from the inside. This way you have two halves of pita to fill instead of trying to open and fill one large pocket. However, different brands of pita will be easier to manipulate in different ways so do what works best for what you have!

Step 2

Fill each half of your pita bread with ½ cup spinach or leafy greens/herbs of choice. Fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, and dill are most traditionally used.

Step 3

Add some fresh cold vegetables like the chopped tomato and cucumber I suggest.

Step 4

Add 3 falafel to each pita pocket (or use however many falafel you can comfortably fit in your pita).

Step 5

Drizzle generously with my simple Lemon Tahini Dressing and top with other garnishes like Quick Pickled Red Onion for some bite and toasted sesame seeds.
