Perhaps that&#8217;s one reason why I&#8217;ve seen so many people baking breads, cakes, making hearty stews and pastas. I have been eating my share of treats and comfort foods, but now its important to also focus on clean, healthy and eating wholesome foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I was reminded of Spring by the lush greens, vegetables and fruits at the grocery store\u00a0today. I was lucky to find some beautiful produce and a recipe started to develop in my head. Spring Chickpea Salad has a strong Mediterranean influence that I love, its fresh, vibrant and crisp, feels like a new beginning. And because many of us are in quarantine right now I\u2019ve made this recipe with ingredients that are easy to find, readily available and perhaps already in your pantry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m teamed up<a href=\"https:\/\/californiaoliveranch.com\/\" class=\"aioseop-link\"> California Olive Ranch<\/a> to bring you this recipe. As you\u2019ve seen on my blog I love to create and support local produce, products and businesses. So I was excited to work with CA Olive Ranch, they produce oils that are great tasting, excellent quality at affordable prices and taste amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is a sponsored post but all
