Method
- Heat 1 tbsp of the extra-virgin olive oil in a small frying pan. Add the capers and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they start to open and crisp up. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Take the pan off the heat and pour in the remaining oil, vinegar and mustard; stir to combine and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cook the orzo following the packet instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, celery, pepper and cooled orzo. Drizzle over the dressing and toss to coat; season well. Flake over the tuna and scatter with the capers; toss again before serving.
