About this recipe
Lunchbox rice and tuna salad is a filling snack with cucumber, tomato, and a yogurt dressing. The rice creates a mild base, the tuna adds bold flavor and protein, and the vegetables bring freshness. The yogurt brings the ingredients together without making a heavy dressing and pairs well with cooled rice. Drain the tuna thoroughly so the salad does not become watery after being transferred to a container. This recipe works well for a lunchbox, a quick dinner, or a simple rice salad that can be prepared ahead.
