Ingredients

1 ⅔ cups chicken broth
1 cup pearl (Israeli) couscous
⅓ cup quinoa
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste
1 ear fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Combine chicken broth, Israeli couscous, and quinoa in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Spoon into a large dish. Gently spread out and let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
Drizzle olive oil over couscous. Fluff with a fork until incorporated. Add corn, spring onions, red bell pepper, parsley, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until well chilled.
