A flavorful twist spin on carrot raisin salad with lots of crunch!
I’m a big fan of crunchy salads – this carrot and chickpea salad fits the bill and is perfect for a quick lunch or side dish!
I typically have all the dressing ingredients on hand and if I’m in the mood for something flavorful and filing with a bit of crunch, this salad gets made. I love adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for burst of heat, but you can certainly leave out if you don’t like things too spicy.
