Calling all falafel and hummus lovers! I know there are lots of you out there; this recipe is one for you guys.
This recipe features beetroot and chickpea falafels smothered in a tasty, creamy spinach hummus. A bright, beautiful bowl of delicious and nutritious goodness made with my favorite blitzer by Vitamix. It’s a hummus lover’s best friend.
For those of you who have never tried falafel before, they are a deep-fried patty made from fava beans or ground chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans)—or a combination of both. A variety of herbs and spices are added to them to give them their signature taste.
Falafels are a popular Middle Eastern dish. The best part about the crispy, flavorful balls is that they are usually vegan and are made without any animal products.
