# Best Practices:

01 -
  • Quick and Easy: Ready in just 30 minutes using store-bought ingredients.
  • Nutrient Dense: Packed with fresh vegetables, protein-rich falafel, and healthy fats.
  • Versatile: Easy to customize with extra grains or different pickled garnishes.
02 -
  • Crisp Texture: Ensure the falafel is warmed until the exterior is crunchy.
  • Citrus Burst: Don't skip the lemon wedge; the acidity cuts through the richness of the tahini and hummus.
  • Allergen Check: Always double-check store-bought spreads for hidden gluten or dairy if you have specific dietary requirements.
