Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 2 ears corn shucked and grilled
  • 2 peaches thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cup canned chickpeas drained
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds toasted*
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup pickled red onion
  • 1 4.5 oz package lettuce greens

For the Dressing: 

Instructions

Pickled Onions:

  • Add thinly sliced red onion to a large jar or Tupperware container.
  • In a small bowl, combine the water, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and pour over the sliced onions. Cover container with lid and let sit on counter for 30 min to 1 hour before using OR transfer to the fridge for a few hours before using. Pickled onion will last about 1 week in the fridge. 

For the Salad: 

  • Grill the corn over high heat for about 10 minutes or until slightly charred. Use a sharp chef's knife to cut off of the cob. 
  • Add all your salad ingredients to a large bowl and toss well.  

For the dressing: 

  • Add all of the dressing ingredients to a jar. Shake well to combine. Pour over salad ingredients and toss to coat. 

Notes

  • To toast your sliced almonds, add to a dry skillet (no oil needed!) over medium high heat. Heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. 
  • To make ahead, reserve the dressing and pickled onions until ready to serve.
