Vegetable Millet salad

This millet salad is an easy and quick recipe that also has the goodness of broccoli, sweet corn, and carrots along with cooked millet. In this post, I will show you how to make this salad healthily by using simple ingredients.

This millet salad is my favorite way to eat millet. So simple to make yet taste delicious. I generally use leftover cooked millet to make this recipe but you can use freshly cooked millet also.

You can make this recipe with cooked quinoa also. Cooking fluffy millet or quinoa is the key to this recipe.

After so many trials and using various cooking methods, I mastered cooking millet. If you want to cook millet easily using an Instant pot or pressure cooker or a simple pan, you should check out my detailed recipe on cooking millet.

Once you have a perfectly cooked millet, you can make any recipe that uses cooked rice or cooked quinoa and replace it with millet.

I generally do not replace my rice with millet but I try to include millets in our diet at least 3 or 4 times a week. Please check with a medical professional if you want to replace rice or wheat with millet.

Main ingredients

• Cooked Millet – As I said earlier, fluffy millet will make this salad delicious. Do check out my detailed recipe on cooking millet.
• Veggies – I used broccoli, sweet corn, and carrots. But you could use any veggies according to the season and your taste. Some of the veggies that go well with this salad are green beans, green peas, cauliflower, turnip, radish, zucchini.
• Salad dressing ingredients – a simple lemon juice, ginger, olive oil pepper, and salt are used as dressing for this recipe. Millet and ginger go very well but you can skip it if you don’t like it.
• Almonds – You should be eating a handful of nuts and seeds every day for optimal nutrition. An easy way to have them is through these salads, these soak up the flavors well and taste even more delicious. You can replace almonds with any other nuts like walnuts, cashews, or seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds.
