"My brother Jojo calls this my detox salad, try and you should soon find out why! Very nourishing and will surely tickle tastebuds. One of my originals as my bro calls it... I prefer using the 85 g pouch of no-drain no-fuss tuna that are mostly available in different preparations like garlic tuna, sun-dried tomato tuna and the one I use for this recipe, the Lemon twist Tuna by John West Products. Any type of canned tuna will of course do..."

I have lived a good deal of my almost half a century out of the Philippines. My longest stay in the country was when I was completing my Bachelor's Degree in Communication Arts at the University of Santo Tomas eons ago... I love cooking aside from shopping...for kitchen gadgets, knick-knacks, etc. Top of my favourites would be eating, though, and pouring through books; travel and cookbooks. Larousse Gastronomique, Nigella Lawson's Feast and my complete Harry Potter collection are just a few of the books I won't part with...not even with my bestest best friend! With the amount of things I love...There are very few I truly despise and refuse to understand. Say, homewreckers and women who think they can just take somebody else's husbands or boyfriends away! Whichever way though, I always take situations and try to view things both ways -flexibility!
