Creamy Kale Salad with Crispy Falafel & Tahini Drizzle

Originating in Egypt but popular and pervasive throughout the Middle East, falafel makes for a hearty and delicious vegetarian accompaniment to a fresh and creamy kale salad. Traditionally made with fava beans, most falafel today are made of chickpeas. While cooking dried chickpeas from scratch is customary, swapping in canned chickpeas makes this recipe quick and easy to throw together at the last minute. Kale, a bonified superfood, is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, boosting your health all the way around. Chickpeas offer fiber as well, aiding digestion, and are an excellent source of plant-based protein.
