Ingredients
 
 

  • 1⅓ cup chickpeas cooked
  • ½ cup canned sweet corn rinsed and drained
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • ½ cup olives chopped
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced, about ⅓ cup
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • ½ lemon juiced or 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seed
  • ½ tsp Himalayan salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing the cucumber and tomato. Chop the olives in circles, and also chop the green onions and dill.
  • Then, add all salad ingredients to a large bowl. Season with freshly squeezed lemon juice, ground flax seeds, and salt.
  • Toss to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use canned chickpeas or you can cook chickpeas from dry. If you use canned, drain and rinse them. If you use dry, you will need about ⅔ cup (120 g) dry chickpeas for this recipe. Soak them overnight. Put them in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 40 minutes or until soft.
