This salad combines millet and quinoa for slightly higher protein content. Lighten up your lunch with this mango, dried cranberries, and spinach salad topped with a sweet lemon poppy seed dressing. So delicious!
Place millet and quinoa in a strainer and rinse in cold water for a couple of seconds. Place rinsed grains in a medium sized saucepan and combine with water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until water has absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit with the lid on for 10 minutes before removing and allowing to cool.
Meanwhile, combine remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add lukewarm or chilled grains. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, mix together lemon poppy seed dressing ingredients before pouring over the salad. Serve at room temperature or cold.
