1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)

Instructions

Rinse millet under cold water until it runs clear. In a medium pot, combine rinsed millet with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until all water is absorbed and millet is fluffy.
While millet cooks, mix strawberries with honey and lemon juice in a bowl.
Add chopped thyme to the strawberry mixture and let flavors meld.
Once cooked, fluff millet with a fork, then gently fold in the strawberry-thyme mixture and olive oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra thyme leaves if desired.
