Servings: persons

1 cup brown rice
1 cup fresh green beans
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 (6 ounce) canned tuna, in water
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
black pepper, to taste

1
Cook rice according to package directions; after, set aside to cool.
2
While rice cools, steam the green beans until tender-crisp; then rinse under cold, running water.
3
Transfer the green beans to a large serving bowl and add the celery, bell pepper, onion and basil.
4
Add the rice and dressing (the dressing is comprised of the last 4 ingredients listed).
5
Toss to combine, then add tuna.
6
Toss to combine and eat immediately or cover and refrigerate until serving time. (I prefer to refrigerate for a few hours.).
7
(Additional notes: you can also use frozen green beans in lieu of fresh for the recipe if necessary, but please use FRESH basil! It makes all the difference to not be using a dried spice. Also, I love to serve these as tacos/burritos on whole wheat tortillas, but you can serve them however you want!).
