Ingredients

  • 1 cup millet
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon orange vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 2 oranges juiced and segmented I used cara cara oranges
  • ½ English cucumber diced small
  • small handful of mint chopped
  • small handful of Italian parsley chopped
  • dash of salt

Instructions

  • Place the millet and water (or chicken broth) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. I use a rice cooker for this and the millet is always perfect. When done, fluff with a fork and let cool.
  • In a small bowl whisk the olive oil, maple syrup, orange vinegar, balsamic vinegar, zest of one orange and juice of two oranges. Salt as needed.
  • Peel the oranges into segments removing all the bitter pith.
  • Put the cooled millet in a large bowl and use a fork to toss with the dressing. Add the oranges, cucumbers, mint and parsley.
  • Serve immediately or keep covered in fridge.
