Directions

1. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add the quinoa, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the broth is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 25 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
2. For the Honey Lemon Vinaigrette, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, one-third of the garlic, salt, and pepper in a jar or bowl. Shake or whisk to combine and set aside.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic and sauté until golden brown, about 30 seconds.
4. Add the zucchini, corn, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté until barely tender, about 4 minutes.
5. Add the cooked quinoa and half of the Honey Lemon Vinaigrette. Stir and cook for 1 more minute.
6. Add the remaining vinaigrette, tomatoes, feta cheese, and basil to the skillet. Stir well, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
