Falafel is one of our favorite ways to add a satisfying plant-based protein to our salads. But it's Edgar's creamy minty cashew sauce that really drew us in to this beautiful dinner salad.

1 cup of cashews, soaked for 24 hours (or at least 1 hour)
1 tbsp of fresh ground dill seed (optional)
1 tsp of fresh ground mustard seed (optional)

Sauce Directions
Drain cashews and add them to a blender. Add all sauce ingredients except the mint and parsley and blend until smooth. Once smooth, add herbs and pulse for a few seconds until combined. This will last in the fridge for 4 days.
Falafel Directions
Preheat the oven for 350˚ F. Soak your chia seed with 4 tbsp of water, mix and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Then add all the falafel ingredients and process them with a high-speed blender or a food processor until well conbined. You want the consitency to be slightly chunky; taking care not to over process the chickpeas.
Use an ice cream scooper to measure the same sized falafels. Lay parchment paper on a baking a sheet, bake the falafels for about 30 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Serve with desired toppings, cashew sauce, and enjoy!
