Ingredients List

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa

  • 1 cup frozen corn

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

  • lime, zested

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in quinoa. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, until broth is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in corn. Cover and let stand until corn is warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

If you want to add in more color, try using a combination of white and red quinoa.

You can also use Trader Joe's(R) Frozen Roasted Corn for added flavor.
