Add corn and sauté for 5 minutes until heated through. 4. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. 5. Once quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and mix in sautéed corn, parsley, cilantro, and feta cheese if using. 6. Drizzle the lemon dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine. 7. Serve warm or at room temperature.
