Quinoa Salad Recipe – 3 WW SmartPoints
This Quinoa Salad recipe is way better for you than a rice or pasta salad and has a buttery, lemony, slightly sweet side taste.
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
