Southwest Salad in Cucumber boats 

1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided

• In a medium bowl, combine chickpeas, corn, bell pepper, olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and coriander, tossing until well combined. Place in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
