Instructions
Step 1
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a little sunflower oil.
Next, chop the onion finely and sauté it in the hot oil. Stir it occasionally for a couple of minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly golden, adding a pinch of salt to enhance its flavor.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, chopped boiled eggs, canned corn, sautéed onion, canned tuna, and mayonnaise.
Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and the salad turns smooth and creamy. This salad is now ready to be served!
Servings
Alternatively, serve it on a bed of crisp lettuce. 🌱 Top it off with a sprinkle of herbs or a dash of paprika for a pop of color!
If you’re planning a picnic or a gathering, pack the salad into bite-sized **wraps** or **sandwiches**. 🥪 This way, it’s not only convenient but also fun to eat!
Equipment
A non-stick skillet works best for sautéing the onions. Make sure it's well heated before adding the oil to avoid sticking.

Variations
If you want a gluten-free version, skip the traditional mayonnaise and opt for a vegan mayo or yogurt substitute! 🌱 You can also use quinoa or brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier twist.
For those on a vegan diet, substitute the tuna with chickpeas or tofu that has been tossed in your favorite seasonings. 🥗 This will bring a hearty texture while keeping the salad deliciously fresh!
