Easy Tuna Rice Salad
Report
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.

Ingredients
Tuna Rice Salad
- 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
Dressing
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Suitable for freezing (though the vegetables will go a little mushy, so not really advised).
