The Mexican salad is a classic summer dish, based on tuna, corn and beans, very easy to make; perfect for when you are hungry but with few ideas.

To make this salad a complete single dish you can accompany it with slices of toasted bread or with boiled or steamed rice; bring it to the sea or to work and you will not regret it.
