This dish is all about assembly, not time at the stove. Quickly sauté chickpeas and corn, then simply gather the supporting characters: lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, feta, and lime.

Number Of Ingredients 20

Dressing:
2 small jalapeños, seeded, chopped
1 (¾-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
2 small garlic cloves, finely grated
1 cup (packed) cilantro leaves with tender stems
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
⅓ cup tahini
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. miso
Kosher salt
Assembly:
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
1 (14-oz.) can chickpeas rinsed, drained
3 ears of corn, shucked, kernels removed
1 Tbsp. spice blend (such as za'atar, vadouvan, hawaij, or berbere)
Kosher salt
4 cups tender greens (such as Little Gem lettuce and/or watercress), torn if large
2 avocados, cut into wedges
4 small tomatoes, cut into wedges
Crumbled feta, cilantro sprigs, and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Dressing:
  • Purée jalapeños, ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, tahini, miso, and 3 Tbsp. water in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
  • Do Ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to an airtight container and chill.
  • Assembly:
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Mash garlic with a spoon and stir into oil. Add chickpeas and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and beginning to crisp underneath, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 2 minutes more. Add corn and 1 Tbsp. oil and cook, tossing, until corn kernels are golden around the edges and tender, 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle spice blend over and toss to coat. Season with salt.
  • Combine lettuce, avocados, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle lightly with oil and toss to combine. Season with salt.
  • Divide dressing among bowls and top with salad and chickpea mixture, then feta and some cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

I loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The miso-tahini dressing was creamy and flavorful, and the corn and chickpeas added a nice crunch. I would definitely make this again.

I made this recipe for my vegan friend and she loved it! She said it was one of the best vegan dishes she's ever had. I'm definitely going to be making this again for her.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to roast the corn and chickpeas separately, and then make the dressing. It was all worth it in the end though, because the dish was delicious.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The flavors just didn't come together for me. The miso-tahini dressing was too bland and the corn and chickpeas were dry. I won't be making this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder. The miso-tahini dressing was delicious and I loved the crunch of the roasted corn.

I'm not usually a fan of corn, but this dish changed my mind. The miso-tahini dressing was so good that I could have eaten it on its own. I'll definitely be making this again.
