A flavorful bowl with crispy falafel, fluffy couscous, fresh vegetables, and tangy tzatziki sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying Mediterranean meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 store-bought or homemade falafel
  • 2 cups cooked couscous
  • 1 cup diced cucumbers
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta
  • Tzatziki Sauce:
    • ½ cup Greek yogurt
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 tbsp chopped dill

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Mix until well combined. This creates the creamy, tangy sauce that will coat the falafel and vegetables, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.

  2. Cook the Falafel:

    • Heat falafel according to package instructions. This ensures the falafel is cooked through and crispy, preventing a soggy texture.
    • Alternatives: If using homemade falafel, pan-fry or bake until golden brown. These are practical alternatives for cooking the falafel.

  3. Assemble the Bowls:

    • Divide cooked couscous into bowls. This provides the base for the dish, creating a satisfying foundation.
    • Top with heated falafel, diced cucumbers, and halved cherry tomatoes. This creates a balanced and colorful meal, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
    • Drizzle with tzatziki sauce. This adds a creamy, tangy dressing, enhancing the overall taste.
    • Sprinkle with crumbled feta. This adds a salty, savory topping, creating a delightful presentation.

  4. Serve:

    • Serve immediately while the falafel is warm and crispy. This ensures the best flavor and texture, maximizing the enjoyment of the dish.

Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt for a creamy tzatziki.
  • Heat falafel until crispy and golden brown.
  • Cook couscous according to package instructions.
  • Customize with your favorite Mediterranean vegetables.
