Instructions
Spray a non-stick skillet lightly with cooking oil spray.
Add the millet and toast over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the grain smells nutty.
Pour in 2 ½ cups of water and stir in the salt. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer over low heat until the water is absorbed—about 40 minutes.
Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork, and let cool.
Steam the snow peas briefly until bright green, then rinse with cool water and drain.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled millet, snow peas, and all remaining ingredients except the last two.
Toss gently but thoroughly, cover the salad with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let the salad sit for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Just before serving, stir in the cherry tomatoes and nuts or seeds.
Transfer salad to a serving bowl and garnish the edge, alternating halved cherry tomatoes with sprigs of curly parsley.
