Method

In skillet, toss chickpeas with barbecue sauce until well coated. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until chickpeas begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to plate; let cool.

In each of four 500-ml jars, layer Lime & Cilantro Vinaigrette, cooled chickpeas, red pepper, corn, onion, baby spinach and cashews. (Make-ahead: Can be refrigerated overnight.) 

When ready to serve, shake jar to coat ingredients with dressing. Serve in bowl or on plate. 

Lime & Cilantro Vinaigrette

In food processor or blender, combine 2 cups packed fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup canola oil, 3 tbsp lime juice and 1 clove garlic until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Make-ahead: Can be stored in airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days.) Makes about 4/5 cup.
