2. Drain all the liquid out of the chickpea can and tuna can and combine them into one big mixing bowl.

4. Now to make the dressing- squeeze the juice out of one lemon and add 2 tablespoon of Thai sweet chilli sauce. Give it a stir and a taste to see if it suits your liking. You can always add more sweet chill sauce. If you do have fish sauce add a few drops and it will help intensify the flavour of the dressing.

5. Combine the dressing into the big mixing bowl and use your both hands to mix the sauce with the salad so that the dressing is evenly coated.
