Tips:

Choose ripe, fresh fruits: The fresher the fruits, the better the salad will taste. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more flavorful the salad will be. Some good choices include mango, pineapple, papaya, kiwi, and grapes.
Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked rice will be mushy and ruin the texture of the salad.
Use a light dressing: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the fruits and tuna to shine through. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt-based dressing is a good choice.
Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or even overnight.
