This healthy recipe will have your guests singing ‘Opa’ throughout the house! I love to top these falafels with hummus, slow roasted tomatoes, pickled red onion, and cucumber slices. It’s great in a whole wheat pita or on their own. Freeze a batch to make dinner in a breeze. And the best part…they are super cost efficient to make. That makes me say Opa for sure!
