For this recipe I opted for grilled halloumi, refreshing tzatziki, a preserved lemon salsa for a real citrus kick and of course – smothered it all in my favorite tahini dressing – recipe here! *Note: Since I didn’t have a food processor to blend up the mixture I needed an egg to help bind it. Add the remaining ingredients (you probably won’t need the egg here) and pulse again until the mixture starts to clump together * Heat 1 T of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. * Build your lettuce wraps with the falafel and halloumi, top generously with tahini sauce and tzatziki * Combine the preserved lemon, red onion and cilantro and spoon over your loaded lettuce cups.

If you need a little break from the concrete jungle then head to New York’s beautiful Central Park for some chill time. From there you can walk through the park, past City Hall itself, about 7 mins towards Brooklyn Bridge.
