Vegan Falafel Pizza Pie

A refreshing spin on Mideastern fare & pizza.

Pinterest is an amazing social media tool and definitely more than about pinning pictures to random boards.  It's absolutely insane how many recipes I've highlighted and bookmarked from various sites, including some non-vegan places that must be recreated to suit animal free tastes.
For example, ever since I saw The Vegan Stoner's Falafel Pie, it just had to be made!
A very simple dish using falafel mix and water as the crust was genius, especially adding fresh ingredients atop like hummus, veggies, and of course, the traditional cucumber yogurt sauce. With the exclusion of olives (not a fan) and insertion of spinach and red onions, the experience is a tantalizing combination of fresh salad and pizza, that spiced bottom taking each layer with stride. 
If desired, try taking a few slices of the falafel pie into warmed pita pockets and eating it that way.
All in all, this is delicious and definitely worth making again!
