  32. I've never had socca before but I am definitely a savory snacker 9/10 times and also my tastes run a little fancier than a bag of chips. This is EXACTLY what I would want to snack on. Salad and all! And I absolutely adore that you put thyme in there. So fragrant! Perfect with that salad topping!
