Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the dry wheat berries. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 1 hour, or until the wheat berries are soft yet chewy and begin to split open.
- Once the wheat berries are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse them under cold water to cool down quickly. Let them sit for a few minutes, ensuring they are well-drained.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled wheat berries, diced tomatoes, drained tuna, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley. Gently toss until well combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and fresh lemon juice until emulsified and slightly thickened.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and gently fold until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.

Notes
For optimal taste, add the dressing just before serving. This keeps the ingredients fresh and prevents any sogginess.
