Chickpea and Corn salad

This is an all time favorite salad in my home. Not only is the salad healthy, it is very simple to make also.

You will need:

1 can chickpeas or ( 1 cup boiled chickpeas)

1/2 can of corn (1 cup corn if using frozen or fresh)

1/4 cup of fresh cilantro chopped

1/2 cup chopped cucumber (optional)

1 tsp minced jalapeno

1/2 cup chopped green onions (scallions)

salt to taste

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lime or lemon juice

Whisk olive oil and lime/lemon juice together, add salt and mix well. Now add rest of the ingredients and adjust seasonings. You can use chili powder and black pepper for a different kind of heat in the salad. You can serve it at room temperature or serve cold. Tastes equally good.

Enjoy!
