Ingredients

1 cup cooked millet
1 cup sweet corn
1 cup broccoli small head
½ cup carrots finely chopped
¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
¼ cup almonds

Millet salad dressing ingredients

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon ginger grated
¼ teaspoon black pepper adjust according to your taste
¼ teaspoon salt adjust according to your taste

Instructions

Cook the millet and keep it aside.
Prep the veggies for the salad. I used broccoli, sweet corn, and carrots. Chop the veggies as you like and steam them until they are cooked.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, and grated ginger. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk and keep it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, take the veggies. Add the prepared salad dressing and mix it well.
To this veggies mixture, now add cooked millet and cilantro leaves. Gently toss the salad and ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Sprinkle the salad with the toppings. I used almonds here. And mix it well.
Once everything is well combined, transfer the millet salad to a serving dish or serve it immediately.

Notes

Fluffy millet is the key to this recipe, please check my how to cook millet recipe for detailed instructions..
Steaming time depends on how you cut the veggies and according to your taste.
Add the almonds just before serving so that they remain crunchy.
If you have any leftover roasted veggies, you can use them in this recipe.
Add red chili flakes or chopped jalapenos to make this salad spicy.
