  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • Salt, to taste
Vegan Falafels
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 3 tablespoons warm water
  • 2¼ cups cooked chickpeas
  • ⅓ cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup bulgur wheat (or buckwheat groats for gluten free)
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Wrap
  • 4 pieces flatbread (or gluten-free tortillas for gluten free)
  • 4 pieces Romaine or green lettuce
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • ½ cup olives (black or kalamata), sliced
Instructions
Dairy-Free Yogurt Sauce
  1. Add the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, and salt to your food processor or blender, and process until smooth.
Vegan Falafels
  1. Prepare a flax egg by pouring the warm water over the flax seed meal in a small dish. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine the chickpeas, onion, bulgur, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and flax egg in a food processor. Process 1 to 2 minutes, or until a smooth consistency is reached. It’s okay if it’s still a little chunky.
  3. Divide chickpea mixture into 8 to 10 portions and form into patties.
  4. Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the falafels and cook for 5 minutes on each side.
Wraps
  1. Drizzle some “yogurt” sauce in the middle of a piece of flatbread.
  2. Layer the lettuce, falafels, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and olives.
