FRENCH TUNA AND RICE SALAD

French Tuna and Rice Salad image

I used to get a tuna and rice salad at a small French bistro and was sad when the restaurant closed. I have been trying to find a similar recipe for years and finally found it from Debra Fioritto Weber. I made a few small changes, such as replacing gherkins with capers and adding tarragon to the vinaigrette.

Most of my recipes-including this one-were developed from my experiments with leftovers. This salad is also delicious prepared with leftover chicken or turkey instead of tuna.
