Raw Vegan Falafel Salad (with Raw Vegan Hummus)

So, I got this recipe from TheRawChef.com. It was originally supposed to be a wrap, but my raw bread didn't turn out so I threw the falafel and hummus on a delicious salad. All you need is a dehydrator or oven and a high powered blender (I use a Vitamix).

Falafel ingredients:

• 1 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cilantro
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 8 sun-dried tomato halves, soaked for 1 to 2 hours and then chopped
• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 shallots
• 1/4 cup (pitted) olives 
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• Pinch of cayenne
• Pinch of pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• A tablespoon or two of oil (I use hemp)- just so the ingredients blend better

Hummus ingredients:

• 1/2 cup macadamia nuts
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water

-Blend all of the falafel ingredients in a high speed blender (I mentioned before that I used a Vitamix). You can always blend them in a food processor as well.

-Once the ingredients are blended, round them into falafel shaped balls.

-Either place them on a cooking tray and place in the oven at 105 degrees for about five hours OR if you are using a dehydrator, place them in the dehydrator and also leave in there for about five hours at 105 degrees. Either way works. 

-Once your falafels are dehydrating, blend your hummus ingredients in the blender until smooth.

-Once the hummus is all blended up, place it in a container and stick in the fridge until you are ready to use.

-After the falafel is ready, place on a bed of salad with whatever veggies your heart desires. 

-Massage your hummus into the salad. I also added a little hemp oil on top. 

-If you're like me, and like to add some Sriracha spice, you can top it with some organic Sriracha. I used the brand Sky Valley by Organic Ville. 

Enjoy!
