Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas 19 fluid ounces, drained and rinsed
  • 1 handful little tomatoes cut into halves
  • 3 cobs corn husked
  • 1 tablespoon red onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • 0.5 lime lime juice of half
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Prep the tomatoes, corn, onion, and cilantro.
  2. Preheat BBQ or grill to high heat. Rub the corn with olive oil. Reduce heat to medium-high, and grill the corn for about 12 minutes total, turning every few minutes.
  3. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to a salad bowl.
  4. Once the corn is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes. Using a knife, cut the kernels off the cob and add them to the salad. Toss it and serve immediately or chill for an hour if desired.

Notes

  • Serving Size: This salad serves four as a side dish.
  • Cooking Variability: I used a gas BBQ to grill the corn. Please note that every BBQ/grill/grill pan is different, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
