Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Total Time: 25 min
Servings: 4-6

2 medium ears yellow corn, husked
Salt, to taste
1 cup grape tomatoes, quartered and seeds squeezed out
1 14oz can chickpeas, drained, rinsed
1/2 cup small diced red onion
1 large basil chiffonade (a handful of ribbon-sliced basil)
2 medium zucchinis

  >> For the dressing
1 clove garlic, very finely minced
2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp onion salt
1 Tbsp finely minced parsley
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Pepper, to taste

Place all of the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Place the ear of corn in a pot and cover with water. Lightly salt the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let cook for about 2 more minutes or until corn is easily pierced with a fork. Drain into a colander and shave the kernels off the corn with a knife and set aside.

Slice the zucchinis halfway lengthwise, careful not to pierce the center. Spiralize, using Blade B and place in a bowl with the tomatoes, corn, beans, onion and basil. Pour over the dressing and toss to thoroughly combine.
