This recipe was originally called Easy Mango Millet Salad, and it is indeed easy to make. Millet has not enjoyed the same popularity as its grain relatives wheat or rice, but it is a gluten-free grain that you should keep on hand. It's easy to cook, has a beautiful soft texture (my husband recently had dental work done and was grateful for that characteristic!), and takes on the flavour of whatever you add to it.
