*Foxtail Millet Salad Recipe*
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2
*Ingredients*
½ cup boiled & cooled foxtail millet
1 medium cucumber, finely diced
½ cup pomegranate seeds
2 tbsp freshly grated coconut
2 tbsp coarsely crushed roasted peanuts
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
Juice of 1 large lemon (about 2 tbsp)
½ tsp salt, or to taste
*Method*
Add the boiled and cooled foxtail millet to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced cucumber, pomegranate seeds, grated coconut, crushed peanuts, chopped coriander, and green chilli (if using).
Pour in the fresh lemon juice.
Add the salt.
Toss everything gently until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with a few extra pomegranate seeds, grated coconut, crushed peanuts, fresh coriander leaves, and a lemon wedge.

*Tips*
Ensure the millet is completely cooled before mixing to keep the salad fresh and crunchy.
For extra crunch, add the crushed peanuts just before serving. You can also add finely diced carrots, capsicum, or sprouts for more texture and nutrition. This salad is perfect as a healthy breakfast, light lunch, evening snack, or a refreshing summer meal.
