The yogurt sauce for falafel is delicious and refreshing, perfect to pair with these little balls, typical of Middle Eastern cuisine. Made with natural yogurt, which gives it a creamy texture and a slightly tangy flavor, it’s also suitable for tempering the spicy taste of other dishes.
I added some lemon juice and a few chopped mint leaves to enhance its flavor, but you can use your preferred herb: parsley, cilantro… What should not be missing are the yogurt and lemon juice; for the rest, you can let your imagination run wild, even adding a bit of garlic.
This sauce not only enhances the flavor of falafel but also offers a fresh and light contrast, making the dish even more delicious. It is perfect to accompany other Middle Eastern dishes or the vegetable balls, which I often cook.
