Steps:
- For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
- Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
- For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

FARRO SALAD WITH CORN AND CRISPY CHICKPEAS
This nubby, gently spiced grain salad is filled with tender corn kernels, crunchy roasted chickpeas and plenty of thinly sliced fennel, scallions and herbs. Drying the chickpeas before roasting gives them the deepest crunch, so don't skip that step. All together, the salad walks the line between hearty and light, a substantial side to grilled meats or fish, or a summery main course all on its own.

Steps:
- Start the chickpeas: Spread drained chickpeas on a rimmed sheet pan lined with a clean dish towel or a double layer of paper towels. Let air-dry for at least 30 minutes while you cook the farro.
- Prepare the farro: Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add farro and bay leaf. Cook until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well, discarding bay leaf. Put farro in a bowl and, while still warm, stir in 5 tablespoons of the olive oil, the vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the coriander. Let farro cool to room temperature.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. While the farro cools, roast the crispy chickpeas and the corn in the same oven.
- For the chickpeas, remove towels from the baking sheet and toss chickpeas with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and spices until well coated. Roast, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, lightly drizzle kernels with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Spread corn in a single even layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast, tossing halfway through roasting, until golden brown and fragrant, about 20 minutes.
- Add corn to farro mixture, along with the scallions, fennel and herbs, tossing to combine. Taste, and add more salt and/or vinegar if needed. Just before serving, fold in crispy chickpeas so they remain crunchy. Top with another drizzle of olive oil and flaky sea salt.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and colorful vegetables. The more vibrant the colors, the more appealing the salad will be. Aim for a variety of textures as well, such as crunchy cucumbers, soft tomatoes, and crisp bell peppers.
- Use a variety of beans and chickpeas. This will add flavor, texture, and nutritional value to the salad. Some popular choices include black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, and chickpeas.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good option, but you can also try something more flavorful, such as a creamy avocado dressing or a tangy citrus dressing.
- Add some herbs and spices for extra flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and mint can really brighten up a salad. You can also add a pinch of cumin, chili powder, or paprika for a little extra kick.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Corn, bean, and chickpea salad is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 3 days. If you're chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
Conclusion:
Corn, bean, and chickpea salad is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that's perfect for summer gatherings or weekday lunches.
