Very easy to make....especially when you have leftover rice. I made this just as written. After mixing it, I thought there was too much rice for the amount of tuna, so I added an additional 6 oz can of tuna. This was great on a bed of lettuce. I would make this again, doubling the tuna. Thanx for posting. -
This is one of my stand by favourites, very popular even with the kids and those that dont like tuna. We like it best with a can of peaches (chopped) and two green apples (chopped) instead of the celery and onions.

Hi! I just completed my fifth move in five years and I swear they will have to haul me out with a backhoe. Actually though, one more move and then I am entrenched. Amazingly, after going cross-country, I ended up 17 miles down the road from where I started.
I have four children, all grown, and nine grandchildren, six girls and three boys. I have been single for almost five years and was getting used to my solitude when I moved in with my daughter, son-in-law, three granddaughters. Now, what was that I was saying about solitude.
I recently was granted Social Security Disability and made it through on the first round without a lawyer. I was in shock. Getting used to not being on the employment cycle is tough but it does give me more time to explore Zaar!
I am a vorocious reader of all things, even cereal boxes. I collect rocks and anything Native American. Except for three years in Georgia, I have spent my whole life in the Pacific Northwest and wouldn't trade it for anything.
