Very easy to make....especially when you have leftover rice. I made this just as written. After mixing it, I thought there was too much rice for the amount of tuna, so I added an additional 6 oz can of tuna. This was great on a bed of lettuce. I would make this again, doubling the tuna. Thanx for posting.

This is one of my stand by favourites, very popular even with the kids and those that dont like tuna. We like it best with a can of peaches (chopped) and two green apples (chopped) instead of the celery and onions.
