Tunisian tuna salad

This colourful salad from the Tunisian capital of Tunis , tastes as good as it looks. North Africans like their food highly spiced and, while this recipe only includes tow chillies, you can increase or decrease the quantity as you like.
You can omit the canned tuna and serve the salad with fresh char-grilled tuna, if you prefer.
