Notes
- I used restaurant falafel, but you could use any that you prefer.
Variations
- add hot sauce; I’d particularly recommend something with a smoky cumin flavor like a red shug/zhug
- can also add tahini to help increase the moisture and keep it from being too dry; this will significantly increase the calories
- can add seasonings like sumac, za’atar, or herbs like mint and cilantro
- can bulk it up with chickpeas, beans, or chicken

Notes
- This dish is best served cold, so if using dry chickpeas, prepare them in the morning or the night before and refrigerate
- Shallots are milder than onions but super expensive; use red onions if you’re not a Rockefeller
- Can use all lemon juice or all lime juice, if that’s all you have on hand
