Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Zucchini
• 2 medium-sized Carrots
• 1 large Potato
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini, carrots, and potato into a large bowl. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess liquid from the grated vegetables to ensure the patties hold together well.

Step 2

Add the chickpea flour, cumin powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix together until the ingredients form a cohesive mixture.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into palm-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Set the patties aside on a plate.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, prepare the herb yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, toss the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil and honey. Gently toss to coat the salad evenly.

Step 7

To assemble the dish, place a generous portion of the salad onto each plate. Arrange two vegetable patties on each plate and add a dollop of the herb yogurt sauce on the side.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this fun, flavorful dish inspired by a garden safari!
