Simple, fresh and spicy!

Cook the basmati rice until al dente (should take no more than 8-10 minutes), rinse with cold water, and let cool. Dice the cucumber, tomato, and bell pepper and add to the rice. Drain the tuna and add to the rice. Combine the chopped spring onions, olive oil, basil, thyme, and the juice of half a lemon (be careful with the amount, as it can quickly become too acidic) and season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, stir, and serve. If you don’t have any herbs, you can also use ready-made dressing powder. In this case, omit the lemon juice.
