Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Put the cooled rice into a large bowl and loosen it gently with a fork.
  2. Add the tuna and break it into chunky pieces rather than shredding it.
  3. Tip in the onion, carrot, cucumber, and sweetcorn.
  4. Drizzle over the olive oil and lemon juice.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then mix slowly until everything is evenly combined.
  6. Taste once more and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.

Storage

This salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir once before eating and add a small splash of olive oil if it looks dry.
