Quinoa, Zucchini and Corn in Lemon Butter

This recipe is so good!  I made it as a side to go with the Salmon and Chickpeas/tomatoes.  The description to the recipe said:

A delicious quinoa recipe that is savory and satisfying! The lemon, butter and honey add a wonderful and unique flavor to this salad, while the vegetables give it some added bulk, fiber and crunch. It makes a lovely side to a wide variety of meals.  High in fiber, and bulked up with fresh vegetables, this low calorie dish really helps to fill you up. Make it as a side for sandwiches or soup, or even serve it alone, on top of some fresh greens – it would make the perfect vegetarian lunch! Enjoy.
