French Tuna And Rice Salad

I used to get a tuna and rice salad at a small french bistro and was sad when the restaurant closed. i have been trying to find a similar recipe for years and finally found it from debra fioritto weber. i made a few small changes, such as replacing gherkins with capers and adding tarragon to the vinaigrette.
