Instructions

Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan and heat. Then slice up a garlic clove and add. When the garlic starts to color, add the rice. Stir for a couple of minutes and then add the hot water and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes, then reduce and simmer for 8 more minutes. If the rice has absorbed all the water in this time but is still hard, add a little more water. Let stand.

While the rice is cooking, prepare the other salad ingredients. Wash and cut the tomato into pieces of the desired size. Chop up a few lettuce leaves. Peel and grate a carrot. Slice several black olives (pit if necessary). Finally, drain the tuna.

Put several tablespoons of the cooked rice into a bowl. Then add the other prepared ingredients: tomato, lettuce, carrot, olives, and tuna. Mix gently until the ingredients are well incorporated. Enjoy!
