Light, sweet and crunchy, this salad is an easy summer side.

SERVING SIZE

serves 6-8

INGREDIENTS

2 cups quinoa

4 cups water or vegetable broth

¼ cup butter

4 ears (2 cups) corn, shucked and kernels cut off

4 green onions, coarsely chopped (save some chopped greens for garnish)

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the water or broth and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the quinoa is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes.  

Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn kernels, green onions, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, salt and pepper and sauté until the corn is tender, but still crunchy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the honey if you’re using it. Let the corn mixture sit until the quinoa is done cooking.

When the quinoa is done, add in the corn mixture and toss until well combined.

Season with salt and pepper, top with more green onions and serve warm.
