What a lovely light and healthy lunch. Rice is combined with ready made pesto and tinned tuna. Serve with lemon wedges if you like a bit of zest.

- Cook the rice in plenty of boiling water for 12–15 minutes, or until just tender. Drain, rinse in a sieve under cold running water for a few seconds, then tip into a large bowl.
- Whisk the pesto and lemon juice together, drizzle over the warm rice and stir to coat in the dressing. Leave to cool.
- Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a non-stick frying pan for 5 minutes until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Add the tuna, spinach, capsicum and half the bacon to the rice. Gently mix together. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the remaining bacon.

Very tasty and my husband also enjoyed it. I used flat leaf italian parsely pesto that I had made. If you buy the right bacon this dish is gluten free and low in lactose (assuming pamesean in pesto). I will make again. - 19 Sep 2012
