Rinse the cracked wheat several times until the water runs clear and place in a large saucepan.

Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the cracked wheat and cover with a tight lid.

When the cracked wheat has swelled (about 20mins) add the ground red pepper, tomato puree and salt and mix well with a fork.

Add the rest of the vegetables and mix through with a fork.

Add the olive oil and lemon juice and mix again.

Pour the salad out onto a bed of lettuce leaves to serve.
