Kaffir lime? With the wobbly skin? I’ve never tried putting it in salad or anything because I usually found it to be bitter. I Thai cooking I know they use “dayap” alot, but if anyone is interested we have kaffir lime fruit. You can email me if you need some. Actually, most of the fruit just rots in our garden because nobody in the house really uses it except as air freshener.

where can i find that premium tuna?

one of my clients gave me canned tuna belly, a product of their own tuna cannery in gensan but it was only for export and not available locally.

I am on the south beach diet these 2 weeks and the salad really fits in well since I normally have tuna/greens/lemon only [boring!]. I am excited to do this tonight. Fortunateley for me, kaffir limes are readilly available here. It is really very fragrant and the scent sticks to my fingers and the kitchen whenever I use them.

Sounds great! And just by chance, I have all ingredients right now. Thanks, MM. Agree on your feedback re Century Tuna — the only canned goods I keep in the pantry. I particularly like Tuna Chunks in Water but also love the Spanish Style.

marisa, I use the mint leaves sold in groceries… not sure what specific type of leaf they are, but there usually isn’t more than one choice of mint in our groceries. A lot of Thai dishes have mint leaves in them. mojitodrinker, there is a link to the specific can of century tuna in the post… for this dish, I used tuna flakes in vegetable oil… estella, lucky you with meyer lemons in the garden… yes, limes will do for this dish… cherrypajamas, sorry, I have no idea where to buy kaffir limes in your neck of the woods.

hi MM – are you referring to “premium” century tuna in the red cans?
