Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup quinoa
1 cup corn
1 medium zucchini, diced (about 1 cup)
4 green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnish
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp grated orange zest

Directions:

To make Quinoa Medley: Bring 2 cups water to a boil in medium saucepan. Stir in quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to medium low.
Simmer 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and opaque and liquid is absorbed. Let stand 5 minutes, then transfer to large bowl. Fluff with a fork, and cool.
Fold corn, zucchini, green onions, cilantro and mint into quinoa.
To make Dressing: Whisk together oil, orange juice, lemon juice and orange zest in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle dressing over quinoa mixture, and toss well. Sprinkle with pine nuts, garnish with mint sprigs, if desired, and serve at room temperature.
