Tuna Rice Recipes

EASY TUNA RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, drain in a sieve and then cool by running cold water over the rice. Rest the sieve on the saucepan to drain the rice fully.
• While the rice is cooking and draining, make the dressing. Put the mustard, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper in an old jam jar (or similar) and stir to mix together. Add the olive oil and then screw on the lid of the jar and shake to combine.
• Chop up all the vegetables into small pieces and put in a large bowl, add the tuna and sweetcorn and the cooled drained rice and stir well to combine
• Add the dressing and stir well again.
• This can be served immediately or put in the fridge to serve later. I like to serve it with a little green salad - tossed in the remains of the dressing and with a big chunk of crusty white bread.
