How to Make Hot Millet Salad
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of millet to the saucepan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the millet is tender.
- While the millet cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients: chop 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup red onion, and 1/4 cup fresh parsley.
- Once the millet is cooked, remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- Gently stir in the chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
- Serve immediately on two large plates. Squeeze fresh lemon juice generously over the salad before serving.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste, and a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
