Ingredients

12 falafel patties See note
2 pitas cut into triangles
1-2 mini cucumbers or Persian cucumbers, sliced thick
½ pint cherry tomatoes halved
¼ red onion sliced thin
½ cup mixed olives
lemon wedges

Lemon Tahini Sauce

¼ cup tahini
1 lemon juiced
1 garlic clove minced or pressed
⅛ teaspoon salt
2-4 tablespoon cold water

Tzatziki Sauce

¼ cup finely grated cucumber
1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
½ cup plain Greek yogurt full fat or 2%
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small garlic clove minced or crushed
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To make lemon tahini sauce: in a small bowl whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt. The mixture will be thin at first but it will thicken after a few minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of cold water and whisk together. Add more water, if you prefer thinner consistency.
To make tzatziki sauce: place grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out most of the moisture. Add to a small bowl with yogurt, garlic, olive oil, dill, salt and pepper and mix until combined. Drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top for garnish.
Place your sauces/dips and olives in 3 small containers that will be served on the platter.
Place the 3 containers on your platter spaced apart.
Fill the gaps with fresh greens, cut up cucumbers, halved grape tomatoes, red onion, pita triangles and finally, falafel patties. Falafel should be hot.
Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

You can make your own falafel (try my Easy Air Fryer Falafel Recipe) or use store-bought falafel patties. Making falafel from a boxed mix is also a great option.
