Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, cider vinegar, pomegranate molasses, and salt until well blended. Stir in the chopped mint, parsley and chives.
Add the diced radishes, tomatoes, and pomegranate seeds to the dressing and toss to mix. Gradually add the millet, a ½ cup at a time, tossing the salad together as you go, until it is well mixed with the other ingredients. Sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds if using. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Chef Tips

If pomegranate molasses is not available, squeeze the juice from a small wedge of lemon into the dressing to add some tang.
