As the temperatures start to warm up in Spring I love a crunchy salad. This one is well balanced with the addition of a warm grain (or cauliflower rice) and the creamy chickpeas and avocado. It is perfect for lunch or as a side at your next BBQ or potluck dinner. Hope you’ll give my Spring Shredded Salad salad a try and let me know what you think! Also, don’t forget to tag me in all of your foodie creations at @livlight_ and #livlight.
