Tuna Rice Salsa Salad

Submitted by English_Rose

"Sandwiches can get boring so why not try packing a quick salad. If you’re eating rice or pasta you can cook a bit extra so there is some left over for lunch the next day. Then add a couple of spoons of flavour-packed salsa dip, a few bits from the store cupboard and hey presto a colourful healthy salad."
