Adding chickpeas or avocado to this would be work great as well! I personally picked this recipe to show that even with minimal cooking you can make a great falafel style sandwich. I've been on the mucusless diet for about a year now, obviously not sticking 100% to that as you can see. I found I was doing more harm than good by stressing about not consuming starchy foods such as potatoes and bread than I was eating 100% raw. With that being said, once I move to a more tropical environment that has more quality fruits I will have no problem going fruitarian. Thats great if you can build off this recipe and add your own flavor to it!! Much love!
