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.
Ingredients
100 g rice
60 g tuna packed in water, drained
1/2 cucumber
1 tomato
100 g plain yogurt
1 teaspoon mustard
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Steps
Cook the rice according to the package instructions and drain if necessary. Immediately spread in a thin layer in a shallow dish. After briefly allowing steam to escape, refrigerate; do not leave it in the warm saucepan. The rice should be completely cooled before adding the yogurt. Prepare the remaining ingredients meanwhile.
Drain the tuna thoroughly. Dice the cucumber and tomato; remove the watery seed pockets from a very juicy tomato.
Mix the yogurt with the mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Combine with the cooled rice, tuna and vegetables so the dressing coats the ingredients evenly.
Transfer the salad to a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
