We decided to shake things up a bit and use millet, instead of rice, in this tangy, Asian-influenced salad. Millet is a gluten-free ancient seed that cooks quickly and is perfect for salads. We love its sweet and mild flavor. Keep a bag handy whenever you want a fun, healthy substitute for rice. If you can't find millet at your grocery store, look for it at a natural supermarket or health food store, or even online. It nicely complements the snow peas, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, scallions, and carrots in this salad. A simple dressing of rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and peanut oil helps to tie everything together.
