Purée jalapeños, ginger, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, tahini, miso, and 3 Tbsp. water in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.

Assembly:
Step 3
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Mash garlic with a spoon and stir into oil. Add chickpeas and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown and beginning to crisp underneath, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 2 minutes more. Add corn and 1 Tbsp. oil and cook, tossing, until corn kernels are golden around the edges and tender, 5–7 minutes. Sprinkle spice blend over and toss to coat. Season with salt.
Step 4
Combine lettuce, avocados, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle lightly with oil and toss to combine. Season with salt.
Step 5
Divide dressing among bowls and top with salad and chickpea mixture, then feta and some cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
