Ingredients

  • 1 ⅔ cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup pearl (Israeli) couscous

  • cup quinoa

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste

  • 1 ear fresh white corn, kernels cut from cob

  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Combine chicken broth, Israeli couscous, and quinoa in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Spoon into a large dish. Gently spread out and let cool completely, about 15 minutes.

  2. Drizzle olive oil over couscous. Fluff with a fork until incorporated. Add corn, spring onions, red bell pepper, parsley, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately or refrigerate until well chilled.

Cook's Note:

Substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth if desired.
