In a medium saucepan, combine the water, oil, and salt; bring to a boil. Gradually add rice. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is just tender (20 to 25 minutes).
Lightly mix in artichoke hearts (with their marinade). Transfer to a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cool.
Reserve about 5 anchovy fillets for garnish. Chop remaining anchovies and add to rice with pepper, celery, onions, olives, cucumber, tomato, tuna, and eggs. Add Garlic Vinaigrette and mix lightly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours to blend flavors.
Serve in a bowl lined with lettuce. Garnish with tomato wedges and reserved anchovies.
For Garlic Vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, mix vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Using a whisk or fork, gradually blend in oils, mixing until well blended and slightly thickened. Stir in parsley.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
