Cute party idea! This recipe for mini-falafel kebabs is a different take on the classic appetizer, with middle eastern flair. So healthy and fresh!

15 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced white onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water) OR 2 egg whites
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
toothpicks (as least 3 inches long, I used “bamboo picks” from Party City)
10 ounces pitted kalamata olives
10 ounce package cherry tomatoes
lemon slices

Other ideas for toppings- pickled turnips, mini pickles, cucumber slices

Cucumber Sauce
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced very small
3-4 tablespoons Vegenaise (non dairy mayonnaise)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 T. minced fresh dill
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground sea salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons ground flax seed (grinding them from whole flaxseeds is best). Add 6 tablespoons of water, stir and let set. In a medium bowl, add chickpeas....
