I lovage it when you get a little peppery and won't take no chive.

I could respond in kind, but I'm going to give it a parsley.

Calls to mind the encyclopedia of herb puns from an old Dr. Demento tape:

Life In The Slaw Lane - Kip Addotta

It was Cucumber the first; summer was over.
I had just spinached a long day and I was busheled.
I'm the kinda guy that works hard for his celery and I don't mind telling you I was feeling a bit wilted.
But I didn't carrot all. 'Cause, otherwise, things were vine.
I try never to disparagus and I don't sweat the truffles.
I'm outstanding in my field and I know something good will turnip eventually.
A bunch of things were going grape, and soon, I'd be top banana.
At least, that's my peeling.
But that's enough corn; lend me your ear and lettuce continue:
After dressing, I stalked on over to the grain station.
I got there just in lime to catch the nine-elemon as it plowed toward the core of Appleton,
a lentil more than a melon-and-a-half Yeast of Cloveland.

CHORUS
Life in the slaw lane.
They say plants can't feel no pain.
Life in the slaw lane.
I've got news for you:
They're just as frail as you.

No one got off at Zucchini, so we continued on a rutaBaga.
Passing my usual stop, I got avoCado.
I hailed a passing Yellow Cabbage and told the driver to cart me off to Broccolyn.
I was going to meet my brother across from the eggplant where he had a job at the Saffron station pumpkin gas.
As soon as I saw his face, I knew he was in a yam.
He told me his wife had been raisin cane. Her name was Peaches:
a soiled but radishing beauty with HUGE goards.
My brother had always been a chestnut, but I could neve figured out why she picked him.
He was a skinny little string bean who had always suffered from cerebral parsley.
It was in our roots.
Sure, we had tried to weed it out, but the problem still romained.
He was used to having a tough row to how, but it irrigated me to see Artichoke,
and it bothered my brother to see his marriage going to seed.

CHORUS

Like most mapled couples, they had a lot of grilling to do.
Sure, they'd sown their wild oats, but just barley if you peas.
Finally, Peaches had given him an ultomato. She said, "I'm hip to your chive,
and you don't stop smoking that herb, I'm gonna leaf ya for Basil, ya fruit!"
He said he didn't realize it had kumquat so far.
Onion other hand, even though Peaches could be the pits, I knew she'd never call the fuzz.

CHORUS

So I said, "Hay, we're not farm from the Mushroom! Let's walk over."
He said, "That's a very rice place. That's the same little bar where alfalfa my wife!"
When we got there, I pulled up a cherry and tried to produce small talk.
I told him I haven't seen Olive; not since I shelled off for a trip to Macadamia when I told her, "We cantaloupe."
The time just wasn't ripe.
She knew what I mint.
When we left the Mushroom, we were pretty well-juiced.
I told Arti to say hello to the boysenBerry and that I'd orange to see him another thyme.
Well, it all came out in the morning peppers:
Arti caught Peaches that night with Basil, and Arti beat Basil bad,
leaving him with two beautiful acres.
Peaches? She was found in the garden; she'd been pruned.

CHORUS

Well, my little story is okra now.
Maybe it's small potatoes. Me? Idaho.
My name? Wheat. My friends call me "Kernel".
And that's life in the slaw lane.
Thank you so mulch.

CHORUS

It's a garden out there!

And sort of healthy.

From Epicurious App too:

Cracked Wheat Salad with Green Olives and Golden Raisins

Ingredients:
1/2 cup wheat berries
salt
1.5 cups bulgur
Finely grated zest of 4 lemons (they must have in mind small ones as I used three)
Grated zest of 2 oranges
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crusted red pepper (they say optional, I say don't leave it out)
Juice of 2 lemons (consider 1 medium-large)
Juice of 2 oranges, about 2/3 cup (consider 1)
3 tbs chopped fresh parsley
2 tbs chopped fresh mint
2 tbs chopped cilantro (I went without and still delicious)
1/2 cup green olives, pitted and roughly chopped
1/2 cup golden raisin, plumped and roughly chopped
3/4 cup thinly slices celery hearts (I used stalks as the suggested substitute)

Cover the wheat berries with about two inches of water in a 2 quart sauce pan and season with a sprinkle of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, place the bulgur in a large bowl and cover with 1.5 cupts of steaming hot water. Let sit about 15 minutes, stirring occassionally , until the water is absorved and the bulgur is soft. Add the cooked wheat berries.

Whisk together zests, juices, olive oil, kosher salt and red pepper. Add dressing to grains and toss well. Add the parsly, mint, cilantro, olives, raisins and celery to the grains and combine enough to moisten all ingredients.

The recipe says 4 to 6 servings, but I would say at least 6 as a tasty side dish.

This sounds like a nice, very minor, variation on tabouleh.
