Description

This Mediterranean-style tomato tuna salad combines rice and quinoa, fresh herbs, tangy feta cheese, and a light balsamic dressing. It's easy to make, hearty, and bursting with vibrant flavours!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 425g (15 oz) can of tuna in spring water, drained
  • 380g (13 oz) (approx. 4 large) roma tomatoes, diced
  • 100g (3.5 oz) greek-style feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 250g (8.8 oz) bag pre-cooked rice and quinoa

Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes into small chunks, finely chop the red onion and parsley. Add the tuna to a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork (or your fingers, if you prefer).
  2. In a small bowl or screw-top jar, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake well until fully emulsified.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the pre-cooked rice and quinoa, flaked tuna, diced tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
