Hi Friends!
Just popping in to share my new favorite summer salad topper! Remember back in February when I posted a recipe for Sweet Potato Falafel? (CLICK HERE to check it out!) Well, last night I whipped up another batch, with a few minor changes. I was out of pepitas, so I mixed an ounce or two of goat cheese into the batter…and instead of just baking them free-form, I sliced up a couple red peppers into rings and pressed the batter into the pepper rings!
To get the recipe from my original post, click here. The first time I made these I mentioned they were a tad dry. Adding the goat cheese this time was an awesome fix for that!
Since summer = salad in my book, I used the falafel rings to top our spinach, goat cheese and raspberry salads!
Enjoy!

Great idea putting it in the rings, and I’m sure it’s very yummy with the goat cheese in it. I read and enjoyed the profile of you on health pages. Good for you for getting that next degree you were interested in, I hope it leads you in all kinds of interesting and profitable directions.
