Charred Corn Bean Salad by @saharabohoskey
This bean salad has a little crunch from the spiced chickpeas baked until crisp, lots of herbs, and lemon that cuts through the starchiness of beans. Pair this with a nice grilled or pan seared fish. But feel free to also pair with tempeh, crispy tofu or add in some extra greens - kale, arugula etc!
Spice Swap: If you want to tone down the heat a bit, skip the cayenne pepper all together and stick to just paprika! Red pepper flakes, smoked chipotle powder and sweet paprika are all great sub in for this recipe!

Warning, once you try this sweet, salty, spicy and crunchy Coconut ‘Bacon’ you’ll need a batch at the ready at all times. It’s that good! Simply Organic Smoked Paprika is key to the flavor here. It lends a gentle heat, a smoky dimension of flavor you can’t get from any other spice, and a lovely sweetness. Simply Organic Smoked Paprika is sourced from peppers grown in the Murcia region of southeastern Spain. You can make a batch of this Coconut Bacon to snack on all summer long! It’s great in salads, on top of sandwiches or eaten by the handful!
Spice Swap: While smoked paprika maybe the key flavor here, you can use a pinch of smoked chipotle powder, cumin, and sweet paprika!
