- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen, thawed
- 1 (8-ounce) jar tuna packed in olive oil, drained

Directions
Bring 1 gallon water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and rice. Cook rice until al dente, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain and let cool, gently stirring it every now and then.
While rice is cooking, make a vinaigrette by mixing lemon juice, oil and 1 teaspoon sea salt together. Pour half the vinaigrette in a bowl. Set aside the rest.
Combine half the vinaigrette, peas, tuna, cheese, eggs, cornichons, olives, peppers and capers in a bowl and gently mix.
Add cooled rice and remaining vinaigrette to the bowl. Mix gently and adjust salt, lemon juice and oil to your taste.
Serve at room temperature. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
