Millet & Quinoa Mediterranean Salad image

I was inspired to come up with this simple and delicious salad after making another salad, recipe #399915. It's delicious and cooling - and low fat, too! The quinoa and beans add protein, making it a fantastic lunch dish. Pitted kalmatta olives would make a great addition!
