Tuna Rice Salad

Step 1: Cook the Rice
If you haven’t already cooked the rice, start by boiling it according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely before using it in the salad.

Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients
Chop all the vegetables and slice the boiled eggs.
Drain the tuna and break it into small chunks.
Step 3: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice (or vinegar), mustard, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4: Assemble the Salad
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked rice, tuna, cherry tomatoes, olives, corn, cucumber, and red onion.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with boiled egg slices and fresh parsley or basil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend. This salad tastes even better when chilled!
