Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cracked Wheat

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cracked wheat with 1.5 cups of boiling water. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, or until the cracked wheat has absorbed the water and is tender.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the cracked wheat is soaking, finely chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions. Set aside in a mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Chop the Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves. Add them to the bowl with the chopped vegetables.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the cracked wheat is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the bowl with the chopped vegetables and herbs.

  2. 5

    Add Condiments

    Drizzle 4 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice over the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
