3 3/4 cups water
2 (6 ounce) cans chunk tuna (get the best you can, packed in oil is great)
3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
1 cup diced cucumber
1 cup diced fresh tomato
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives or 1 (2 1/4 ounce) can black olives
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

Cook rice in 3 3/4 cups water. (Bring rice and water to a boil, cover and reduce to minimum for 20 minutes).
Let rice cool completely.
Mix red wine vinigar, olive oil, and dijon in a jar and shake well to emulsify.
Open cans of tuna and drain
Add all ingredients together in a big bowl, season with salt & pepper to taste.
Chill in thr fridge or eat right away.
I always douse some extra vinigar over my own serving.
Eat as a main dish or as a side. Tastes better the next day!
