  • Author: Nora Bennett
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup millet
– 2 cups water or vegetable broth
– 1 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, mint, dill, and basil)
– 1 small cucumber, diced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Making Simple Millet and Herbs Salad is straightforward. Follow these steps to create your delicious dish:

1. Rinse the Millet: Start by rinsing the millet under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve to remove any dust or impurities.
2. Cook the Millet: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed millet, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Fluff the Millet: After the resting time, use a fork to fluff the millet. Transfer it to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
4. Chop the Vegetables: While the millet is cooling, chop the herbs, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
5. Combine Ingredients: Once the millet has cooled slightly, add the chopped vegetables and herbs into the bowl.
6. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
8. Chill (optional): If you have time, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Serve: Once ready, serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.

These simple steps will guide you in making the perfect Simple Millet and Herbs Salad effortlessly.
