Ingredients
- 8 pieces Rice rounds (plain or lightly salted)
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and fresh dill (if using). Mix well until evenly combined.

Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the rice rounds, spreading it across the tops.
