Notes
You can use this recipe as a guideline and customise it to suit your requirements. You can use cooked / boiled chicken or salmon or any other protein of your choice. Also you can use any variety of salad leaves like lettuce, kale etc; You can add cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, the choice is yours.
I also add some pitted olives and pickles like pickled jalapeños, dill, cucumber etc to give a sweet and sour taste. Also you can use dried cranberries instead of dates or a combination of both.
Be careful while adding salt, since tuna is already salty. You can also use dry red chilli flakes or hot sauce or pepper to spice it up.
