Hey Pickles!We hope you're well.This week we bring. you some fun facts about cucumbers in our Noteworthy segment. You know we love cucumbers. Hey! It's in our name!We have a new Listener recipe from Listener, Sarah W. It's Loaded Greek Falafel French Fries!Here's her recipe, if you would like to make it for yourself! Sarah Woodard’s Greek Falafel FriesI figured this out trying to recreate one of my favorite delivery items because $30 for one dinner gets nuts quickly!Ingredients: Frozen fries. I like the “golden fries” size for this. Read packages! You wouldn’t believe how many brands have potato as the LAST ingredient 🤦🏻‍♀️Cabbage - buy whole or pre-chopped1 3-oz can of sliced black olives (as you’ve told us before, read the ingredients to be sure they’re actually vegan)Hummus (oddly, some brands of hummus aren’t vegan either, so be careful…)Falafel balls (I again like the Franklin Farms ones)Banana peppers (as with olives, read to be sure they’re vegan)Directions:Prepare a serving of frozen fries per the package instructions (or be like me and play around with microwaving them)Ditto on the falafel ballsChop cabbage - however much you want. When fries are cooked, top with the chopped cabbage, hummus, olives, falafel balls, olives, and banana peppersServe and eatFor a variation, if you can find vegan feta that would be fun, too!ENJOY! 😀Our Main Topic is Vegan Headlines That Make Us Go GRRRRR.
