Taboule

1 pkg (about 1½ - 2c) cracked wheat

¼c lemon juice

¼c oil

salt

pepper

1 bunch, green onions

2 cloves, garlic

2 medium, tomatoes

1 seeded cucumbers

1 bunch, parsley

Mint leaves, to your taste

Please do not substitute dried or canned whenever fresh ingredients can be used. Soak cracked wheat in 3 cups of warmed water for a minimum of 2 hours. The longer this is soaked (up to 3 hours) the better and more satisfying the salad is. Mince the garlic, onions, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley and mint. Add equal amounts (¼ cup) of oil and lemon juice. Drain the cracked wheat and combine this mixture with fresh ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. This summer salad lasts up to 3 days if refrigerated, just add more lemon juice for taste. (Submitted by Wanda Samuelson Lauzon)
