Challenge #3

Journaling prompt: What are your favorite summer-associated foods?
Creative prompt: Draw art of or make graphics of summer foods, or post your favorite summer recipes.

I actually talked about my this last time and my love of summer fruits.  I also love corn on the cob when it is it in season.  I made this recipe for corn/chickpea salad the other day, at least I sort of did, I excluded the herbs, olives, and pickled onions, and added some soft cheese cubes.  I also added a tiny bit of maple syrup to the dressing to cut the vinegary/sourness, I saw that on a YouTube shorts vid.  It was very good, and I've been eating it for lunch for the last couple of days.

Man I love a cold salad and that recipe looks so good. Adding the soft cheese is brilliant- I want to try that.

That salad reminds me of the ones we used to get at my family's favorite Greek restaurant, I ought to make it sometime.

I'm collecting so many fantastic looking salad recipes from this challenge. XD

[kingstoken]

Yay! I hope you enjoy them!

I bet the cheese cubes were an instant game changer! Great recipe, never thought of combining corn and chickpea before. Thank you for sharing!

[kingstoken]

The cheese definitely upped the game of this salad. I hope you give the recipe a try and enjoy it!

Ooh, I am a big fan of anything that has a little bit of maple. :D I'm not so much a whole chickpea fan (hummus can stay, though) but everything else about this I absolutely love and will have to try it.

[kingstoken]

The maple definitely helps, without it the dressing can be a tad too sour for my taste. I used to just eat chickpeas as hummus or make a mashed chickpeas salad, but I'm trying out different ways to eat them whole, because they are supposed to be very good for you.

Yeah, it's a sensory feel that I'm not keen on but I figure if I consume some chickpeas in general it's a win either way!
