French Tuna and Rice Salad

"I used to get a tuna and rice salad at a small French bistro and was sad when the restaurant closed. I have been trying to find a similar recipe for years and finally found it from Debra Fioritto Weber. I made a few small changes, such as replacing gherkins with capers and adding tarragon to the vinaigrette."

  1. I really loved this salad; it is so unique and packs a lot of flavor. The vinaigrette really sets it apart. I would love to make that vinaigrette for a green salad, as well! I made this exactly as posted, except I halved some grape tomatoes rather than using regular tomatoes. Thank you so much for re-creating this great salad. It is ideal to pack and take along for lunch! Made for Spring PAC 2014.
