Notes

Fresh mint is SO good in this recipe but does not keep for meal prep. 
Breaking up the falafels into 'croutons' is great!

Meal Prep
Arrange in meal prep containers so that the falafels and tahini dressing do not come in contact with salad ingredients until just before serving. Try to keep the cucumbers away from the leafy greens as well.
Storage
