Chickpea and Zucchini Salad - Giada De Laurentiis image

This is from Giada De Laurentis. Can use frozen, thawed corn in place of the fresh corn. I also add a tomato to this salad. If I don't have a chunk of Parmesan, I will just sprinkle some grated cheese over the top after mixing in the vinaigrette.
