pink tuna rice salad

Pink tuna rice salad is my bowl of comfort. In summer. This rich salad with black olives, tomatoes and hard boiled eggs cannot beat a pasta. And the glue to this eccentric mix is a salad sauce. I love a honey mustard salad sauce. But you might have another favourite?

Avila Beach Hotel is an important place for me. At the age of respectively 2 and 5 I lived here for a short period of time. I learned to swim and the good things of a continental breakfast. An important element of this buffet style starter was its famous tuna salad. Seasoned with honey and mustard. Unfortunately this recipe is no longer applied at this Curaçao resort. But I still do love to eat cold long grain rice with a honey mustard salad sauce. Hence this recipe that I like to share with you
