ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups millet, dry
- 1⁄2 cup chia seeds (optional)
- 2 large zucchini, diced
- 1 large cucumber, diced
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1⁄2 cup dried apricot, chopped

- 1 teaspoon sea salt

directions
- Soak millet overnight, rinse well before using!
- In a saucepan over high heat, bring water to boil and add in millet. Simmer 15-20mins. Strain and let cool in large bowl.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Season with more lemon juice, salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper to taste.
- Stir in millet, mixture can be served warm or cold. Serve over mixed greens and garnish with avocado slices for dinner. Or for lunch, add 1/2 an avocado on top. Keeps well in fridge -- I usually make a big batch, and use later during the week for lettuce wraps for lunch, or a quick dinner back up! Kids like the "sushi" that I make using this mixture and carrot sticks.
