Zucchini And Chickpea Salad

• Zucchini and Chickpea Salad
• 4 zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salt
• SALSA INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes - sliced in half
• 2 medium shallots - peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup basil/cilantro - chopped
• juice of 1 lemon
• salt and pepper
• Roasted Chickpeas
• 2 cups chickpeas - cooked
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Cut zucchini length wise in half. Place cut side up and sprinkle with salt. Flip and set aside for 15 minutes until it releases some of its water. The goal here is to make the zucchini less watery, and get it ready for grilling. You can skip this step if you are eating the salad right away and don't mind the zucchini a bit on the tender side.
2. Pat dry and brush both sides with olive oil. Set grill on medium high heat. Put zucchini on grill, cook until charred, flip once.
3. In a bowl mix tomatoes, shallots, herbs, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well and set it aside.
4. Preheat the oven 400u0b0F.
5. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Spread them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until crisply and golden. Set aside.
6. I love serving this salad family style. Let people mix the zucchini, roasted chickpeas and salsa the way they like it!
