Sun-Dried Tomato Millet Salad
I love this millet salad because it's packed with flavor and so easy to make. It's a perfect side dish but can also be served as a main dish for a light meal for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients: 2 cups - cooked millet 1/4 cup - sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped 1/2 cup - red radish, half-moon slices 1/2 cup - frozen peas, thawed 2 tbsp - lemon juice 1 tbsp - olive oil 1 tbsp - fresh mint, chopped
Make Ahead: - prepare 2 cups of millet - thaw the peas
2 to 3 servings

Menu Planner:
** Serve this easy salad with steamed green beans and mushrooms tossed with a little lemon juice, soy sauce, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
** For a heavier meal, serve this simple salad along with a broiled salmon steak topped with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh or dried dill.

Ingredient Exchanges:
*Instead of Red Radish: try Leeks or Red Onion - for a spicier version, try adding a bit of chopped Jalapeno Pepper to taste
*Instead of Peas: try Shredded Carrots or Corn Kernels or very thinly sliced Fennel
