Fritters are savory and flavorful pancakes that fulfill so many cravings at once! If you are not a spicy food lover, you can still add the chili pepper and just remove the seeds. They add so much flavor and won’t be spicy without the seeds.

Rocket salad
Rocket leaves are also known as arugula and have a peppery flavor. They are extremely high in nutritional value and will make your salad beautiful and more powerful in flavor. If you cannot find them, feel free to use baby spinach or kale.

Leftover tips for tomorrow’s lunch:
These fritters reheat really well and are good for up to 5 days in the fridge! Add any leftover salad as a topping to them (will just taste marinated not soggy)
Serve them with a lemon wedge and a dollop of yogurt. (add lemon zest, fresh dill, fresh mint and chopped cashews for an upgraded yogurt dip)
