Crispy Chickpea Fritters with Fresh Greens: A Vibrant Salad Twist

Step 1

Combine water and falafel mix in a mixing bowl, allowing it to sit for 10 minutes. Shape the mixture into 12 patties of around 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 2

In a deep-fryer or large saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 3

Fry the falafel patties in batches in the hot oil until they turn crispy and golden brown, which usually takes 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked falafel to a plate lined with paper towels, sprinkle with salt. Let the falafel cool down to room temperature and then break them into smaller pieces.

Step 4

Prepare the dressing by whisking together sour cream, milk, cucumber, parsley, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until it becomes smooth and creamy. Refrigerate the dressing.

Step 5

On individual serving plates, arrange a bed of greens. Place rows of tomatoes, avocado, bacon, eggs, feta cheese, and falafel over the greens. Finish by drizzling the prepared dressing over each salad.
