Since I first found this recipe, I've made it about a dozen times. I double the last six ingredients and use fresh spinich instead of the lettuce. It makes a great dinner with a pear salad and good wine.

Very easy comfort food, esp. after a long day at work. I mixed a small can of tuna and about 1 cup rice (leftover), microwaved it, drizzled some olive oil with truffle and balsamic vinegar. Thank you!

Very good! In fact, surprisingly good. My husband won't eat tuna, but I was craving it and looking for a new recipe. I didn't have any carrots, so I used celery instead; I also used a Mediterranean salad mix, so I added some Greek herb seasoning. If I had had feta cheese, I would have added that, also, but I didn't, so I added a little parmesan. I really enjoyed this, and it's very healthful and customizeable. Thanks for sharing!

This was delicious! It's addictive--I couldn't stop eating it. I was afraid the tuna or vinegar would be overpowering, but the unusual mix of flavors was perfect. My toddlers didn't care for it, but anticipating this, I made extra rice so they could have it alone. The only change I made was to use brown rice instead of white. Next time might follow other users' suggestions and try spinach, feta, and/or black olives, and might add another carrot. Also, I might store the leftover rice and salad separately to preserve it better. PS: I just realized the recipe calls for 2 cups uncooked rice; I used 2 cups cooked rice, which I thought was perfect.

My family loves this recipe! I add green olives (because we love them in everything) and cool the rice before mixing, because I like it crunchy. It is so quick and easy -- and healthy! A+

I thought this was very different and great! I added radish to give it some color & crunch. I will make this again.

Really great recipe! Perfect for dinner on a hot summer day. I made the recipe as directed with a couple of additions based on previous reviews. I added a good sized handful of feta and a big handful of kalamta olives. My husband raved about this salad. I think the feta and the olives added a lot of flavor, but the other magic going on here is the hot rice wilting the lettuce and sort of blending everything together. Thanks for the recipe!

I've made this recipe about 5 times. I use half a bag of spinach instead of romaine lettuce. I also throw in about 1/4 cup chopped walnuts for some crunch. I also add an extra carrot. It's easy to modify this recipe and add a little more or less of the ingredients depending on your tastes. Definitely a departure from your typical mayonnaise based tuna salad!
