Millet is a gluten-free grain providing a great alternative to grains like couscous and bulgur wheat. It's packed with B vitamins and essential fatty acids. Team this with the roasted tomatoes for a healthy dose of lycopene, avocados for protein, and feta cheese for calcium. This is a well rounded and delicious meal that can be served any time of day.
