1 ½ cups water
1 cup cracked wheat
1 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 cup fresh cilantro, minced
¼ cup of fresh mint, minced
½ cup cucumber, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced, i prefer a variety of the red yellow, green, and orange tomatoes

1
Wash cracked wheat and place in a pan with water.
2
Bring the water and cracked wheat to a boil than then remove pan from heat and cover.
3
Cracked wheat cooks much like rice, so just leave it alone for about 30 minutes letting it absorb the hot water.
4
If after 30 minutes there is more water just put the pan back on the heat and cook it a bit longer with the lid off.
5
While the cracked wheat is absorbing the water, prepare the remaining ingredients, including the hot chili if using.
6
Once the cracked wheat is cooked, place it in a bowl and break it up some as it will be a bit clumpy.
7
Be careful it will be hot.
8
Allow the cracked wheat to fully cool then add the fresh ingredients, mix well.
9
Drizzle selected oil and toss some more.
