  • 1 cup frozen fire roasted corn thawed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 small red onion finely diced
  • 1 jalapeno finely diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro minced
  • 1 large avocado cubed
  • 1 lime zest from one lime
  • 1/4 cup lime juice or juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil optional
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic crushed or 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, black beans, thawed corn, halved cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, and minced cilantro.
  2. In a separate cup or bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil (if using), maple syrup, crushed garlic (or garlic powder), cumin, chili powder (or Tajin), smoked paprika, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
