corn and quinoa salad

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.
