Jowar Salad / Sorghum Salad

This is a simple, colorful, and delicious salad made with Jowar or sorghum that satiates hunger. This salad is easy to make and I guarantee that this is going to be made often in your home. This is a perfect summer salad.

Fresh veggies and peanuts give the crunch, jowar provides the carbs as well as fiber and garbanzos give a protein boost along with peanuts. The added spices give a kick to the salad. 

Cooking jowar to the right consistency may be tricky but here is a easy way to cook Jowar in Instant Pot. When it gets ready prep the veggies that go into the salad, and use this lemon vinaigrette for an easy and complete one pot meal. 

This millet based salad is very healthy. Also check here for Dal Sprouts salad if you prefer a grain free salad that is equally tasty and satisfying. This vegan salad is a best addition to your party when you have vegan guests.
