Step 1:
How to make tuna and rice salad? Prepare the products. Pre-boil the rice in a large amount of salted water until ready. Put it in a colander and cool it. I used long—grain steamed - it does not stick together when cooking. Drain the liquid from the corn, discard the grains on a sieve.
Step 2:
Remove the fish from the jar and mash it with a fork. Give preference to tuna in its own juice, without the addition of oil — it is both tastier and less high-calorie. In addition to tuna, you can also take canned food from other fish, red or white.
Step 3:
Hard-boiled eggs, cool, peel and cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
Wash the cucumber, dry it and also cut into small cubes. Salads in which products are cut in the same way look much more aesthetically pleasing.
Step 5:
Wash the dill, dry it and chop it finely.
Step 6:
Put tuna, rice, corn, eggs, cucumber and dill in a salad bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep in mind only that the salad will be seasoned with mayonnaise, which also contains salt.
Step 7:
Add mayonnaise and mix the salad well. If you plan to serve the salad in layers, then lay out the products as follows: tuna-rice-corn-eggs-cucumber. Brush each layer with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the salad with dill on top.
Step 8:
Put the salad in the refrigerator for an hour. And then serve it to the table in any form. Enjoy your meal!

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

Shake the can before buying. The more liquid there is in it, the smaller the fish.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
