 bowl, combine millet, black beans, tomatoes, and onion. Peel several strips


 from the cucumber (it should look striped) and cut it lengthwise into four


 pieces.  Remove the seedy part from the pieces and cut them into 1/2 inch


 slices. Add the cucumber to the salad. Mix all dressing ingredients until


 well-blended.  Pour over the salad and toss to blend. Cover and refrigerate


 until the salad is very well chilled. Serve on lettuce leaves or stuff into


 pita breads.
