Categories     Lunch, Side dish, Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
3 tomatoes , chopped into small chunks
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.
