1. 1

   If your capers are in salt, rinse them very well and put them 10 minutes in cold water.

   Clean anchovies from any bones.

3. 3

   Cut off the rough ends and the dark green of the celery and chop it thinly.

4. 4

   Cut the carrot in strips with peeler.

5. 5

   Using a mandolin to cut the fennel very thinly. I used a 1/4 but you can obviously put more or less.

6. 6

   Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

7. 7

   In a food processor add the mayonnaise, the drained tuna, the anchovies, the pickled cucumbers, the parsley and the capers. Process until smooth. Add lemon juice to taste and pepper and process again. Use a little white wine to thin the sauce as needed - it should have the consistency of thin mayonnaise. Check for seasoning and at this point you can add the salt - capers and anchovies have quite a lot of salt.

8. 8

   In a bowl add half the sauce. Add the vegetables (except the carrot and the tomatoes) and the shredded meat and mix. Taste for seasoning. Garnish with the strips of carrot, the cherry tomatoes, parsley and wedges of lemon.

9. 9

   Serve cold with the remaining sauce on the side.
