Falafel Pita With Turkish Salad and Tahini Sauce

The best way to eat Falafels (in my opinion) is in a soft pita lined with hummus, over some tangy Turkish Salad and drizzled with lemony Tahini Sauce….yummmm.  It’s probably the best vegetarian wrap out there (again, in my opinion)!

As I previously posted my Falafel recipe (see here), I thought it only fair to share the other components of the pita wrap that make it one of my favorites. While I do usually make my hummus from scratch, I didn’t do so in this instance, so you’ll just have to wait for that recipe for another day.
