Falafel Balls (6), Israeli Salad and Tahini-- Oh My! :-)

[Activity2004]

Hi everyone! This is what I had for lunch today on a really nice and warm Summer day. For lunch, I had 6 Falafel Balls, Israeli Salad and Tahini Sauce. I had a bottle of water on the side. Everything was great and I haven't had Falafel Balls in a while, so this was a nice change. Plus, since I didn't want the Pita Bread (this was a gluten free option), it was less carbs. than it could've been for a lunch. Without the bread, it was 40 carbs.. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture taken of the meal this time (not enough battery power for the phone). I'll have to try to get a picture next time I get the meal, again, but we'll have to see what happens.

In other news, we have a new Gluten Free Topic under the Topics Section. This posting will be posted there.

Your lunch sounds lovely Leah as I love falafels with salad, it's a great idea having a gluten free topic section as we only have one for gluten free recipes:

Will check in a minute.

Thank you! I didn't have it before from where I had gotten it, so that's a nice surprise.

I have had falafel myself at a vegan cafe and found out I enjoyed it. Hope you and bunny are well.

Thank you! Everything is doing better today and it's still warm out, but not as bad.

Mmm I love falafels! I had some as a burger last night, not had them like that before. Blimmin gorgeous!

That sounds really good! Do you mash the chickpeas flat, or do you leave them the way they are to do a patty/burger?

[Fatgirlslim19 in reply to Activity2004]

These were squashed like in a falafel. It was like a giant falafel and smooshed flat. I didn't make them, sadly but I'm thinking I could!

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

It's okay if you didn't make the patties yourself. It just matters that you liked them and that they were the way you wanted them to come out. Yummy!

Thank you, Zest ! It's been a while since I've had falafel, so I had to get them when I saw them.

Sounds great to me. I had to look up Israeli salad as had never heard of it. Im glad you enjoyed your lunch. 😋

Thank you! The tahini was used as dressing.

Your lunch sounded delicious, I'm always after new ideas now that I'm gluten and yeast free.
