Ingredients
Scale
- 425g can tuna in spring water, drained
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (Jasmine recommended)
- 1/4 red onion, diced
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions
- Cook the rice: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of cold water to a boil with 1 cup of rice. Cover it, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, vinegar, peanut butter, and salt. Whisk until smooth.

- Serve & enjoy: Chill for about 30 minutes to let flavors meld, if desired.
Notes
Ensure your rice is cooled before mixing to maintain texture. The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
