Chickpea Salad with Grilled Vegetables

Ingredients

Serves 2
Total time:  45 minutes.

1 ear of corn, leaves removed

2 red bell peppers, de-seeded and quartered

2 zucchini, sliced length ways into 1/4 inch strips

Chickpeas, 1 can (15-16 oz.), drained and rinsed

1 lemon

1 handful of basil

feta

olive oil

salt

Directions

Baste all of the vegetables with a splash of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper.

Grill the vegetables until nicely charred on all sides. Remove the vegetables and leave until cool enough to handle.

Coarsely chop the peppers and zucchini and combine in a large bowl. Slice off the corn kernels from the cob and add to the peppers and zucchini.

Tear the basil leaves into the bowl and add the chickpeas. Toss to combine. Taste the salad, adding more lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed. Crumble feta over the top of the salad and serve.

Lemon juice and basil are major flavor factors in this dish..make sure you can taste them!
