Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

150 g white rice ((I like to use basmati rice, but long-grain works well too.))
1 small red, orange or yellow pepper (diced)
¼ cucumber (diced)
10 cherry tomatoes (diced)
6 small mushrooms (diced)
145 g tin tuna (drained)
200 g tin sweetcorn (drained)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar ((or apple cider vinegar))
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil

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.

  • Flake the tuna with a fork before adding it to the salad. This will help to break up the tuna and make it more evenly distributed throughout the salad.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish. Some good choices include celery, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.
  • Add some herbs or spices to your salad to taste. This will help to brighten up the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Tuna salad is a great make-ahead dish, and it can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
