Falafal Salad w/homemade Tzatziki

This salad was so Yummy that I HAD to share the recipe.
First of all I had some tzatziki that I had made earlier in the week you can get that recipe here
FYI this is an individual serving.

What you will need -

1 cup of torn Romain lettuce
5 Grape tomatoes halved
3 white button mushrooms sliced
1/4 cup of prepared couscous (follow the instructions on the box)
1/4 of a cucumber diced
1 small sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese
3 falafals (pre-packaged Trader Joe's)
and a tiny handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, also known as Italian parsley.

What you will do-

Throw the Romain lettuce in the bottom of the bowl, then on one side pile in the prepared couscous, on the side without the couscous throw in the rest of the veggies, feta, and parsley then top with the tzatziki. Put the three falafal on top of the veggies and then take a photo! Lastly, mix it all together and enjoy!
