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.

This dish was a disappointment. The corn was overcooked and the chickpeas were mushy. The miso-tahini dressing was also bland.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The miso-tahini dressing was a bit too strong for my taste, and the corn and chickpeas were a little bland.
