    Created and submitted by Emily Vallozzi, these baked falafel sandwiches are easy to make ahead, nutritious, and vegetarian. Their light tasting and low fat nature makes them a perfect meal for the transition into warmer spring weather and in preparation for swimsuit season! To add a creamy finish while keeping it dairy-free, Emily uses almond milk yogurt in the delicious savory sauce.
