I love falafel, but try to avoid fried food. This salad has dehydrated falafel and tomatoes. It’s not a traditional falafel recipe with chickpeas, but it’s a fun alternative.

• 1 yellow onion
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut in thin slices
• 3 T sunflower seeds
• 6-8 sun-dried (or dehydrated) tomatoes
• 5-6 T Tahini
• 2 garlic cloves

Soak the sunflower seeds over night. Drain them. Put in a food processor and mix with the rest of the ingredients till it all sticks together. Put the falafel on dehydrating trays and dehydrate for 6-8 hours. An alternative is to put the falafel on a broiler pan and dry in the oven on the lowest temperature, for 6-8 hours.
