Chickpea & Apple Salad

Monday, February 12, 2018

We've been trying to incorporate a bit of salads into our everyday meals. I've always been a salad fan but when you start eating salads  more often, it does get challenging because you don't want to be bored with the same flavours & dressings.

I've been experimenting with new flavours lately & I now have a few good salad recipes that I can bank on.
