"This is a tasty lower-fat salad, I used 3 large jalapenos and it was spicy you can reduce the amount to your taste, make sure that you toast the millet first that is what brings out the extra flavor, it's not corn season here yet so I used frozen corn that I thawed, this needs at least 2 hours of chilling time before serving. I'm not a lover of cilantro so I omitted it but I added in some black beans"
