Lemon Rice Salad with Tuna and Green Beans

This is a salad full of flavour that I like to eat after a workout. It can be carried in a lunch box and eaten on the move, too.

Add the blanched green beans to the rice with the cucumber, shallots, tomatoes, tuna, olives and parsley.

Mix the lemon zest and juice, chilli (if using), garlic and olive oil together in a small bowl to make a dressing, then season with black pepper. Toss through the salad, then serve.
