Instructions

In a saucepan, bring water, quinoa, and a pinch of salt to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender (around 20 minutes). Drain through a fine mesh strainer and set aside.

In the meantime, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and corn, cooking until the pepper softens, approximately 5 minutes. Season with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, then stir in the cooked quinoa and green onions. Serve either hot or chilled.
