Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Falafel Cobb Salad.
Step 1
To start your delicious falafel salad, grab a mixing bowl and combine the water with the dry falafel mix.
Step 2
Give it a good stir to ensure everything is well blended, then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
This resting time allows the mixture to thicken up nicely, making it easier to shape.
Step 4
Once the time is up, it’s time to get your hands a little messy! Form the mixture into 12 patties, each about half an inch thick.
Step 5
Next, heat up some vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
This is the perfect temperature for frying, ensuring your falafel will turn out golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Carefully add the patties in batches to the hot oil, frying them for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
Keep an eye on them as they cook; you want that beautiful golden color! Once they’re ready, use a slotted spoon to transfer the crispy falafel to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9
Sprinkle a little salt on top and let them cool to room temperature before breaking them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 10
While the falafel cools, let’s whip up a creamy dressing.
Step 11
In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, milk, diced cucumber, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt.
Step 12
Mix until the dressing is smooth and creamy, then pop it in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to serve.
Step 13
Now it’s time to assemble your vibrant salad! Start by spreading a generous layer of mixed greens on each serving plate.
Step 14
Next, artfully arrange the diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, crumbled bacon, sliced hard-boiled eggs, crumbled feta cheese, and those delightful falafel pieces in rows over the greens.
Step 15
Finally, drizzle your creamy dressing over each salad, adding that perfect finishing touch.
Step 16
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!.
