Provided by Kelley

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 ears organic corn, husks removed
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons crumbled cojita cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
zest and juice of 1 lemon @ 3 tablespoons
zest and juice of 1 large orange about 3 tablespoons
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In small sauce pan bring the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and quinoa to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook quinoa about 20 minutes or until done. Remove pan from heat and transfer quinoa to a baking sheet so it cools more quickly. (Alternately, you could use leftover already cooked quinoa- you'll need about 3 cups, cooked.)
  • While the quinoa cooks, heat the grill to medium-high. Brush the corn with the olive oil and grill about 5 minutes total, turning it often so it chars but doesn't burn. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool before removing the kernels.
  • When the quinoa is cooled, add it to a large bowl. Add the charred corn kernels, minced red onion, red bell pepper, cojita cheese and cilantro.
  • In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, orange juice, and garlic. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is mixed together. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the quinoa and corn salad. Sprinkle with extra cojita and cilantro if desired.
  • Salad can be served room temperature or cold.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cups quinoa, rinsed and drained
4 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups frozen corn
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
6 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tablespoon water
⅓ cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat in a skillet. Add quinoa and toast until lightly browned with a nutty aroma, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine chicken broth and toasted quinoa in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until broth is just absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a bowl.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add corn and cook and stir constantly until just browned, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and vanilla extract in another skillet away from heat, then place over medium heat. Add bell peppers and onion. Cook and stir until onions are softened and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and water. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in charred corn, feta cheese, and remaining tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add vegetable mixture to quinoa and mix well.
