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

1. Prep the tomatoes, corn, onion, and cilantro. 
2. 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). 
3. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt & 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. 

Recipe 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.
