Falafel

Falafel  is a very healthy vegetarian dish which is very common in middle eastern families.This can be eaten as a wrap with cucumbers,carrots  in a tortilla or placed inside a pita bread with any veggies of your choice. Falafel  can also be served as an appetizer.I like this because it is like a go to healthy meal which is very easy to prepare.
