How to Make Black Bean And Millet Salad
- Rinse 1 cup of millet under cold water.
- Combine 1 cup rinsed millet and 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool completely.
- While millet cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients. Dice 1 cup of tomatoes, 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup red onion, and 1/2 cup bell pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled millet, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The salad tastes even better the next day!
- Serve chilled on lettuce leaves, in pita bread, or wrapped in tortillas.
