Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the millet and boil for 20 minutes. Drain well in a fine-mesh strainer and transfer to a large bowl.
- While the millet is cooking, make the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper and pour over millet while it is still warm. Mix well and set aside to cool.
- Once the millet has cooled, add remaining ingredients and toss well to mix. Taste for seasoning and place in the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Add the dressing to the millet while it's still warm. The warm millet soaks up all the flavors of the dressing better than when it's cold.
- Let millet salad sit before serving. This gives it a chance for all the flavors to meld together.
