- ½ cup Quinoa, uncooked
- 2 Zucchini, medium, diced
- 4 Scallions, diced (I used more because I love scallions)
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 cup Corn, canned or frozen (defrosted if frozen/drained if canned)
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Honey
- Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
Cook quinoa according to package directions. Once quinoa has been cooked, place in a large bowl and set aside.
Place a medium sized skillet over medium high heat, melt butter in it, and then add in zucchini and garlic. Cook until zucchini is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then add in corn and honey and cook until heated through.
Add the corn and zucchini to the quinoa, along with the scallions and lemon juice and toss to combine.
Season with salt & pepper.
Chill in the refrigerator and serve cold.
