Basmati rice salad with tuna and avocado
September is here! For many people it means “back to school” and routines... Surely, this Basmati rice salad with tuna and avocado helps to get off to a good start. A very fresh recipe, in which Margarita (from the Entre amigos blog) uses both the loins and the belly of the tuna combined with avocado and other ingredients, which form a complete and delicious recipe
Even though it’s September, this salad is part of the salad contest. We have received many recipes within the deadline that we set and we have not been able to publish them all between July and August, so we have extended it and this week we continue with this summer contest.
