Spring Salads!

So my friend Michelle who is a wonderful chef, like real chef... like pre-momma days worked in restraunt chef, posted this delish springy chickpea salad on her blog a day or two ago. 

I had half the ingredients but still wanted to make something like it, so I did a little spin off on her recipe and made an impromptu salad. Here is Michelle's yummy recipe and my impromptu recipe!

I love the raw and fresh taste of these springy salads!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe Michelle!
