Mediterranean Tuna Pesto Rice Bowl
Flaky tuna tossed in vibrant basil pesto and served over fluffy white rice with crisp cucumbers and juicy cherry tomatoes for a refreshing crunch.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz canned skipjack tuna
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
2 tbsp basil pesto
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 cup English cucumber
2 tbsp red onion
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and cook the basmati rice according to package directions, then set aside to cool slightly.
Drain the canned skipjack tuna thoroughly to ensure the bowl remains crisp and not watery.
In a medium bowl, combine the tuna with the basil pesto, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Use a fork to flake the tuna and mix until every piece is evenly coated in the herb-rich pesto.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the English cucumber, and finely mince the red onion.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked rice at the bottom and topping it with the pesto tuna mixture.
Add the prepared tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion to the bowl for a burst of garden-fresh flavor.
Serve immediately, garnishing with extra black pepper if desired.
