corn and quinoa salad is quick, simple, DELICIOUS!
Sometimes it’s just this easy.
I’m sure you’ve noticed that when I share a “salad”, there is nary a piece of lettuce to be found (see this this and this) – unless, of course, it’s on a pizza…….
And this salad is no exception (can I at least get a thumb’s up for consistency?).
But it’s SO good! And easy!
Especially if you’ve got some bags of quinoa in your freezer.
Peak corn is HAPPENING, so get on this stat. It’s delicious cold and room temp so you can look forward to some not-sad lunches in the coming days as well.
Who needs lettuce anyway??
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts thinly sliced
2 cups corn kernels (from 2 – 3 ears of corn, depending on the size)
salt and pepper
2 cups cooked quinoa
2 ounces crumbled feta (or your choice of cheese), optional
a good handful of chopped fresh basil (or your herb of choice)
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter and olive oil. Add the sliced scallions and corn kernels, season with salt and pepper, and saute for 8 – 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a large serving bowl and add the quinoa and feta. Just before serving adjust seasonings and fold in your chopped basil.
