This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice and tuna, but it's not very flavorful.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less fruit or adding some savory ingredients, like nuts or seeds.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I use Greek yogurt in this salad instead. It's a healthier option and it still tastes great.
