       Title: Black Bean and Millet Salad
  Categories: Beans, Low-fat, Grain, Vegan
       Yield: 8 servings
  
       1 c  Millet, uncooked
       3 c  Water
   1 1/2 c  Black beans, cooked
       2 lg Tomatoes, chopped
       1 md Onion, chopped
       1 md Cucumber
 
 -------------------------DRESSING-------------------------
     1/3 c  Water
       3 T  Lemon juice
       2 ts Balsamic vinegar
       1 ts Garlic, minced
       1 t  Salt
     1/4 ts Allspice
     1/4 ts Black pepper
     1/2 ts Cumin
  
   Cook the millet in 3 cups of water until all water is
   absorbed, 30-45 minutes.  Fluff with a fork and allow
   to cool slightly.
   
   In a very large bowl, combine millet, black beans,
   tomatoes, and onion.  Peel several strips from the
   cucumber (it should look striped) and cut it
   lengthwise into four pieces.  Remove the seedy part
   from the pieces and cut them into 1/2 inch slices.
   Add the cucumber to the salad.
   
   Mix all dressing ingredients until well-blended.  Pour
   over the salad and toss to blend.  Cover and
   refrigerate until the salad is very well chilled.
   Serve on lettuce leaves or stuff into pita breads.
   
   Note: Try this using your favorite salad dressing
   instead of this one.
