2 Tablespoons green onion - sliced

1 cup warm water
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Preparation

*If you do not have 3/4 cup orange juice from the freshly squeezed orange, add enough store-bought to make that amount. The zest should amount to 1 tablespoon total.

Pour warm water over cracked wheat and let stand for 30 minutes.

Cook chicken in a small amount of oil until no longer pink. Cool completely.

Remove cracked wheat from water and squeeze out excess water with hands. Place into a large bowl.

Combine 1/4 cup orange juice, orange zest, 1 tablespoon green onion, 1/2 teaspoon ginger and mix well.

Toss drained wheat with parsley, mint, cucumber and chicken. Add orange juice mixture and blend well. Salt to taste and chill until ready to serve.
