Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   The cooked rice will have probably clumped together, so break it up in a large mixing bowl. Flake in the tuna, then mix in the peas, peppers, tomatoes, spring onions, parsley and olives, if you’re using them.

2. 2

   Stir through the mayonnaise, lemon juice and olive oil and season to taste. Cover the bowl or place in a large plastic container and let everyone serve themselves.
