   • Peel the carrots and, using a vegetable peeler, slice them into thin strips lengthwise.
   • Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds, leaving the skin on for a crunchy texture.
   • Peel the mango and cut it into thick slices.
   • Roughly chop the cashews for garnish.

2. Assemble the Salad:

   • In a large serving dish, arrange the washed and dried lamb’s lettuce (songino) at the base.
   • Add the thin carrot strips, cucumber slices, and mango pieces on top of the lettuce.
   • When ready to serve, drizzle the salad with sesame oil for a delicate, nutty flavor.

Preparing the Tuna and Salmon Skewers:

1. Marinate the Tuna:

   • Remove any bones from the tuna fillet and cut it into small 1 cm cubes.
   • In a bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey. Add the lime juice and a dash of Tabasco for a slight kick.
   • Pour this marinade over the tuna cubes, ensuring each piece is coated well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Cut the salmon fillet into cubes of similar size to the tuna.
   • Gently marinate the salmon in soy sauce and a touch of sesame oil for a few minutes before threading onto skewers.

3. Assemble the Skewers:

   • Carefully thread 4 pieces of tuna onto each skewer, alternating with cubes of salmon if desired.
   • For a crunchy finish, roll the tuna skewers in a mixture of sesame seeds (white and black) and poppy seeds to coat them. Ensure the salmon skewers are also coated with poppy seeds.

4. Grill the Skewers:

   • Preheat the grill until it reaches a high temperature.
   • Grill the tuna and salmon skewers for just a few seconds on each side, as the fish cooks quickly and you want to retain a juicy interior.

5. Serving:

   • Serve the hot or warm skewers alongside the fresh Thai salad for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.

Enjoy these light and flavorful Tuna and Salmon Skewers with Thai Salad as a perfect appetizer to impress your guests with their vibrant and aromatic taste!
