How to make it lighter
- Bake or air-fry the falafel instead of deep-frying it; the chickpeas and herbs still give it plenty of flavour with far less oil.
- Dress the salad with lemon and a measured spoon of olive oil, and add tahini sauce only in small amounts if you use it.
- Add a spoon of hummus or a side of yogurt sauce for extra protein, and fill up on the salad rather than extra falafel balls.
