Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1⁄2 red capsicum, roughly chopped
  • 1⁄2 small red onion, finely chopped

  • 2 x 180g cans tuna in springwater, drained, flaked
  • Lemon wedges to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the capsicum, onion and sugar snap peas, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until softened.

Notes

This rice salad is just as delicious cold the next day and is only 9 ProPoints value per serve. For something more indulgent, sprinkle over 1⁄2 cup (60g) 50% less-fat grated tasty cheese and place under the grill until the cheese is golden and melted for 1 ProPoints value per serve.

  • I love this salad idea. I would replace the frozen spinach with baby spinach that is always in my fridge. A great new salad for me to try.
