I love this recipe. Sicilian Tuna %26amp; Brown Rice over Baby Spinach





Make 1.5 cups of instant brown rice according to package.





In another bowl, add tuna (or don't) with 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp or more of mustard (dijon is good), and 1 tbsp of olive oil. I usually make double the sauce for more flavor.





Then, add to tuna mix pretty much anything you have in your frig. I enjoy Craisins, green olives or pimentos, pine nuts, black beans, roasted red pepper, feta, spinach, apple pieces, etc.





Stir tuna mix with rice, make sure it's at room temp or colder or it might taste different.





I don't add all of this but I have mixed it with the rice and tuna and it's all good. Place over spinach and save the rest for later salads
