EASY TUNA RICE SALAD

Easy Tuna Rice Salad image

This Easy Tuna Rice Salad is so simple to make, but tastes great. Perfect for a light lunch, as part of a picnic or at a potluck/buffet. Alternatively, serve with a green side salad and some crusty bread for a more substantial meal.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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.

Ingredients

approx 900g/2lb cold cooked rice (about 400g/14oz uncooked rice)
400g tuna in springwater
200g frozen petits pois , defrosted
2 red peppers , peeled with a potato peeler, deseeded and diced

5 spring onions , finely sliced
bunch flat-leaf parsley , chopped
large handful stoned green olives , roughly chopped (optional)
4 tbsp mayonnaise
juice 1 lemon
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

The cooked rice will have probably clumped together, so break it up in a large mixing bowl. Flake in the tuna, then mix in the peas, peppers, tomatoes, spring onions, parsley and olives, if you're using them.
Stir through the mayonnaise, lemon juice and olive oil and season to taste. Cover the bowl with cling film or place in a large plastic container and let your household serve themselves whenever they are hungry.

TUNA RICE SALSA SALAD

Tuna Rice Salsa Salad image

Sandwiches can get boring so why not try packing a quick salad. If you're eating rice or pasta you can cook a bit extra so there is some left over for lunch the next day. Then add a couple of spoons of flavour-packed salsa dip, a few bits from the store cupboard and hey presto a colourful healthy salad.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups long grain white rice
4 cups water
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 large carrot, grated
1 (7 ounce) can albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
In a medium bowl, toss together the romainee lettuce, carrot, and tuna. Pour the olive oil and vinegar over this mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. When the rice is done, cool for about 5 minutes, then toss with the salad. The warm rice will wilt the romaine lettuce slightly. Taste and adjust the amounts of vinegar and oil or salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately. This does not keep well.
