Ingredients

  • 1 (19 fluid ounce) can chickpeas drained & rinsed
  • Handful little tomatoes cut into halves
  • 3 cobs of corn husked
  • 1 tablespoon red onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 
  • Salt & pepper to taste 

Instructions

  • Prep the tomatoes, corn, onion, and cilantro. 
  • Preheat BBQ/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 (turn 4 times). 
  • Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt & pepper to a salad bowl. 
  • 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

  • Serves 4 as a side dish. 
  • I used a gas BBQ to grill the corn. Please note that every BBQ/grill/grill pan is different, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
