Flatbread Falafel Salad
Recipe developed by: Isis
It’s Flatbread Friday and I was in the mood for falafel and a big crispy shell… what better way to celebrate than with a flatbread falafel salad! I stuffed BreadMasters stone lavash into my cast iron skillet, sprayed it with coconut oil, and baked it up crispy! Then I filled it with lettuce, tomato, cucumber ribbons, falafel, tzatziki, and some quick homemade red pepper muhammara. I love it when my bowl is edible!
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2-4 | Dietary: Vegetarian (vegan without tzatziki)
Ingredients
- BreadMasters Stone Lavash (or use Markook Thinnest for an extra-crispy shell)
- Coconut oil spray
- Lettuce, chopped
- Tomato, chopped
- Cucumber ribbons (use a vegetable peeler)
- Falafels (store-bought or homemade)
- Tzatziki sauce
- Red Pepper Muhammara
- 4 roasted red peppers (from a jar or homemade)
- 3/4 cup toasted walnuts
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Spray lavash generously with coconut oil.
- Shape the lavash into a bowl/shell inside an oven-safe skillet or press into a large oven-safe bowl.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Muhammara: Combine all muhammara ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Assemble the Salad: Fill the crispy lavash bowl with chopped lettuce, tomato, cucumber ribbons, falafels, a drizzle of tzatziki, and a generous spoonful of muhammara.
- Serve immediately while the bowl is still crispy.
Recipe Tips & Variations
- Make it vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey in the muhammara and skip the tzatziki or use a dairy-free version.
- Add protein: Top with grilled chicken, spiced lamb, or chickpeas for extra protein.
- Meal prep: Bake extra lavash bowls and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
- Wrap alternative: Use Markook Thinnest Flatbread for an even lighter, crispier shell.
- Pro Tip: For an extra-crispy bowl, press another oven-safe bowl on top of the lavash while baking to hold its shape.
