Easy Millet Salad
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 2 cups millet
- red onion small, finely diced
- 2 cups sugar snap peas approximately, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried tart cherries
- 1 jar roasted red peppers I use Trader Joe's brand, about 1 cup chopped
- 2 cups butternut squash medium diced, roasted, see recipe below
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 1/2 bunch fresh dill chopped
- 1 cup Marcona almonds or regular slivered almonds
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons crushed black pepper
- 1 lemon
- Drizzle olive oil on cubed butternut squash placed in a parchment lined sheet pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt (about 2 teaspoons).
- Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 35-45 minutes, or until soft and has some brown marks.
- Let it cool before combining with the other ingredients.
- For the Millet:
- Pour vegetable stock into a medium saucepan on medium high heat, when boiling add millet.
- Reduce heat to simmer and cover with a tight lid.
- Cook for 30 minutes, or until all liquid has evaporated. You will see little holes throughout the top, similar to rice, when ready.
- Let it cool before transferring to a large bowl.
- Add all the chopped up ingredients, toss to combine.
- For the Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl or a glass jar (I reuse jam jars for this) combine all the vinaigrette ingredients and shake well.
- Add the vinaigrette to the salad and toss well.
- Serve room temperature.
