While the millet is cooking, add all the dressing ingredients into a small bowl, and whisk until well blended.


Mix together all the cubed vegetables, tomatoes, olives and feta cheese in a large bowl.






Add the cooked millet, pour in the dressing, and gently stir until well combined. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.


Note:
The salad can be made in advance and let chill in the frige for a few hours.
