Got this one from Giada. We had it tonight and the girls even ate it! I mixed up everything except the lettuce and let it marinate for about an hour before serving.

Garbanzo Bean and Zucchini Salad Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis, 2008

Salad:
1 cup garbanzo beans
2 medium zucchini, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced, rinsed
5 romaine lettuce leaves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1-ounce Parmesan, crumbled into 1/4-inch pieces


For the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined.
