We love a good mash-up, like this lunch salad that brings together two of our favorites. Spinach salad, meet Caprese salad, we know you'll get along splendidly! Emerald, tender spinach is tossed with grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, buttery chickpeas, and crispy ciabatta croutons, in a creamy balsamic dressing. See, like chocolate and peanut butter, only different!
