Ingredients
- cilantro or parsley, to taste
Chickpea Mix
- 14 oz canned chickpeas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
Corn Mix
- 7 1/10 oz sweet corn
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp oregano
Creamy Sauce
- 7 1/10 oz cottage cheese
- 7 1/10 oz low‑fat Greek yogurt
- 2 lime juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp black pepper
Vegetable Mix
- 2 pcs cucumber
- 2 pcs tomato
- 2 pcs green bell pepper
- 1 pcs red onion
- green onion, to taste
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (or set the air‑fryer to 392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- 3Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
- 4While the chickpeas roast, place the sweet corn in another bowl with black pepper, turmeric, and oregano. Toss to coat.
- 5When the chickpeas are about halfway done, add the seasoned corn to the same oven (or air‑fryer) and toast for 15–20 minutes, stirring once, until lightly browned.
- 6Meanwhile, in a blender, combine cottage cheese, low‑fat Greek yogurt, lime juice, a pinch of salt, oregano, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the creamy sauce.
- 7Dice the cucumber, tomato, and green bell pepper. Thinly slice the red onion and soak it in a bowl of salted water for a few minutes to soften its bite, then drain.
- 8In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted chickpeas, toasted corn, diced vegetables, and soaked red onion.
- 9Pour the creamy lime‑yogurt sauce over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- 10Finish by sprinkling chopped cilantro or parsley and green onion on top. Give the salad one final gentle toss and serve immediately.
