- approx 900g/2lb cold cooked rice (about 400g/14oz uncooked rice)
- 400g tuna in springwater
- 200g frozen petits pois , defrosted under the hot tap
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
