Easy Rice Salad

Is it possible to make a delicious meal in only 20 minutes? Yes, it is!

You will need most of that time to boil the rice only, and you can use this time to chop all the ingredients for your salad. I used plum tomatoes, tuna, corn, olives, yellow peppers, and spring onions. I well seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil and a few leaves of fresh basil. Boil a few eggs to garnish and serve with mayonnaise on the side.

It is almost easier to do this dish than explaining how to do it!
