Instructions

1
|
Rinse the rice in a sieve under running water. Place it in a pot with 1 cup (250 ml) of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let the rice simmer, with the lid partially covered, for about 10 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Then remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 1–2 minutes to finish steaming.

|
Wash the bell pepper, tomatoes, and spring onions. Cut the bell pepper into small cubes, quarter or halve the tomatoes, and slice the spring onions into thin rings.
3

Drain the corn and tuna, then combine them with the vegetables and rice in a large bowl. Mix well and season with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Basmati Rice Perfection 🍚
    Rinse basmati rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and ensure fluffy, separate grains that won't clump together in the salad.
  • Tuna Oil Secret 🐟
    Use the olive oil from the tuna can as part of your dressing to add extra flavor and reduce food waste.
  • Veggie Prep Pro Tip 🔪
    Dice vegetables to uniform, small sizes (about 1/4 inch) to ensure even distribution and a perfect bite in every spoonful.
  • Cooling Technique 🧊
    Spread hot rice on a large, flat surface and let it cool for 10 minutes before mixing with other ingredients to prevent soggy texture.
  • Flavor Marination Magic 💫
    Let the salad sit for 15-20 minutes after mixing to allow the white balsamic vinegar to meld with the ingredients and enhance overall taste.
