Method 7 steps
Prepare the ranch dressing: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, water, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, chives, black pepper, salt (optional), and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F), and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Prepare the salad: Mix chickpeas together with vegetable oil and paprika. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until chickpeas are golden.
In a small pot, place eggs and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and cover with cold water to cool.
Once cool enough to handle, peel eggs, halve and set aside.
In the serving bowls, assemble salad. Place lettuce on the bottom then top with avocado, tomatoes, red onion, corn, cheddar cheese, and two egg halves a bowl.
Drizzle with dressing and toss gently.
