DIRECTIONS
FOR THE DRESSING:
In a screw-top jar, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, dill or dillweed, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well to mix; set aside.

FOR THE SALAD:
In a medium saucepan combine water, uncooked barley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add beans the last 10 minutes. Drain, if necessary, and let cool.

In a large salad bowl toss together cooked barley, beans, tuna, tomato, olives, and green onion. Shake dressing; drizzle over salad and toss gently to coat. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving. Serve on lettuce-lined plates. Garnish with egg wedges.
