I always bring a bowl of this Fresh Corn and Chickpea Salad on family picnics. One of our favorite family pastimes in summer is to take a picnic and drive to a nearby forest or lake and spend the day splashing about or climbing trees. Of course, all that outdoor activity means big appetites when lunchtime comes around! We love the crunch of the fresh corn and the freshness of the cucumber and lime juice. The addition of chickpeas makes this is a filling picnic lunch.
It couldn’t be easier to throw this salad together. Start by mixing the corn, chickpeas and cucumber together in a bowl. Lightly fry the scallions, then coat everything with olive oil, lime juice and cilantro leaves. A delicious lunch in under 15 minutes.
To make this version of Fresh Corn and Chickpea Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Combine the corn, chickpeas, cucumber and sliced scallions in a large salad bowl.
In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the chopped scallions and lightly fry until they are warm and soft but not sizzling.
Add the cooked scallions to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Stir in the lime juice and cilantro leaves.
Keep cool until you are ready to serve.
Take this Fresh Corn and Chickpea Salad on your next picnic! Don’t forget to tag your salad posts with #cookmerecipes.
My sister and I joined this website a while back and since then our stomachs have always been satisfied!
Very tasty loved this salad a lot more than the black bean and corn.
Chickpeas and corn are the best combo for a salad, so tasty.
