Chick-Pea and Corn Salad Monday, August 04, 2014, 02:07 PM

I threw together a corn and chick pea salad. I made it with the following:

• 2 cans of chick peas [19 points plus total]
• 3 ears worth of corn (It was actually 4 ears but they were old and I had to cut off a bunch) [6-8 points plus total), cooked and cut off the cob
• most of a bunch of cilantro finely chopped
• 1 small red onion finely chopped
• fresh juice of one lime
• salt and pepper

I combined everything and adjusted the seasonings and added cilantro to taste. I ended up with a very big bowl of salad which made for a large meal plus about half of it leftover for other meals (give or take a little but I'll guess about half).

While the flavor was pretty good, I still think it was missing something. It may be that the cilantro was pretty old and lost some of its flavors. Or I am missing something else entirely. I will read up on other recipes in the mean time to try to figure it out.
