QUINOA WITH CARAMELIZED CORN AND SCALLIONS
With a few healthy swaps, classic summer dishes like sautéed corn can pack outsize nutritional benefits. Quinoa offers a boost of fiber and protein to the caramelized corn and scallion mixture. Instead of cooking the corn with all butter, supplementing with olive oil infuses the dish with healthy fats while still keeping the buttery taste we all love with corn.
