1. Combine the tuna with the mayonnaise and a squeeze of sriracha, add a little lemon and season to taste.
2. Serve with the crackers or spooned into lettuce cups with the peppers, tomatoes and lemon.
Cook's note: I think I ate too much tuna in my student days, so I went off it. But Woolworths’ flavoured tuna has rekindled my love affair. I like to eat it spiked with a little heat, in this case sriracha sauce, but Tabasco sauce is also great. Lemon brightens it up and serving it on a platter makes it more of an occasion. If you only have canned tuna handy, then simply add a spoonful of tomato sauce to the mix.
