Romaine Rice Tuna Salad Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups long grain white rice

4 cups water

1 head romaine lettuce

chopped

1 large carrot

grated

1 (7 ounce) can albacore tuna in water

drained and flaked

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

¼ teaspoon salt

or to taste

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

or to taste

Salad

Directions

Step 1

Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.

Step 2

In a medium bowl toss together the romainee lettuce carrot and tuna. Pour the olive oil and vinegar over this mixture and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. When the rice is done cool for about 5 minutes then toss with the salad. The warm rice will wilt the romaine lettuce slightly. Taste and adjust the amounts of vinegar and oil or salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately. This does not keep well.
