Makes about 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups millet
  • 2 large zucchini diced
  • 10-12 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 large sweet onion diced
  • 1-2 cups finely chopped fresh basil depending on how much you like. I like a lot!
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1 ½ Tbs. olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • High quality sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre- Prep: Be sure to soak the millet overnight in water and rinse 3 times.
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat, then add the millet and simmer until the millet has cooked to a softer texture- around 15-20 minutes. Pour through a strainer and set to the side to let it cool down.
  • In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, tomatoes, onions, basil, mint, oil, sea salt and black pepper and the lemon juice together and mix well.
  • Stir in the millet, and mix the total mixture together again really well. Adjust seasonings to taste. This is meant to be served on the cooler side, so it is a good idea to refrigerate for an hour or two before serving, or at least cool to room temp. Great on salads!
