  • 3 peaches, sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the basil vinaigrette and set it aside. You can make this the night before too.
  2. Toast the quinoa first. Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add in the quinoa with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, tossing it occasionally, until golden and crisp. I start with 1 tablespoon of butter and add more if it needs more to crisp it up.
  3. Assemble the peaches, tomatoes and corn on a plate. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the basil vinaigrette. Top with the crispy quinoa and chives. Serve immediately!
  4. Note: you can assemble this ahead of time but keep the quinoa separate until right before serving. It will soften if it sits on the fruit too long!
