Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Break apart any clumps of the rice, then add in green onions, red bell pepper, corn, and peas.
  2. Add the drained flaked tuna to the mix. I like to break apart the tuna with a fork before dumping it in to make sure its not clumpy.
  3. Seperately, mix together the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, mayonnaise, yogurt, milk and salt and pepper to form your dressing.
