Put the cracked wheat in a large bowl and pour the boiling water on top. Leave the wheat in the water for approximately 45 minutes or until it has absorbed the water. Drain any excess water.
Meanwhile, chop and mix the cucumber, tomato and onion. Finely chop the parsley and mint with the vegetables. Add the minced garlic. Add to the soaked bulgur wheat and mix.
Prepare the salad dressing (may be done the day before) by whisking the olive oil into the lemon juice. Add diced green pepper and salt as needed (approximately 1T). Mix into the salad.
