Chickpea salad with grilled prawns

Ingredients

800g prawn meat, peeled and deveined (approx. 1.76 lbs)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt, plus extra to taste
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
2 Lebanese cucumbers, seeds removed and diced
500g cherry tomatoes, halved (approx. 1.1 lbs)
1 red onion, diced
3 corn cobs
500g cooked chickpeas (approx. 1.1 lbs)
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
1 tbsp maple syrup
100g feta cheese, crumbled (approx. 3.5 oz)
1 tbsp dried oregano

Directions

In a bowl, combine prawn meat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and Old Bay seasoning.
Grill the corn cobs on a hot grill for 10-12 minutes, or until they develop a nice colour on the outside. Once cooked, slice off the kernels from the cobs.
For the dressing, mix red wine vinegar, EVOO, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a jar. Shake well to combine.
Cook the prawns on a flat grill or in a cast iron pan over high heat for 6-8 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked.
In a large bowl, toss together cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, corn kernels, and chickpeas. Add the dressing, a pinch of salt, and oregano, mixing well. Finally, gently fold in the feta cheese.
Serve the cooked prawns on top of the salad. Enjoy!
