Rice Salad with Tuna and Sweet Corn
This rice salad is very popular in Russia and can easily be prepared even by most inexperienced cooks. It's cheap, satisfying and can also be served as a side dish. Instead of tuna the Russians often use surimi crab sticks. The recipe can be changed according to taste by adding other ingredients such as chopped fresh tomatoes, peppers or hard boiled eggs.
