Chickpea, Corn and Carrot Salad combines cooked chickpeas, corn and grated or finely chopped carrot. It is an everyday salad rather than a dish tied to one particular regional tradition, and is often dressed simply with lemon juice and olive oil before being served chilled or at room temperature.

It provides both fibre and plant protein, with 5.4 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter version, keep the oil modest and add extra lemon or fresh herbs.
