Ingredients

  • 200 g New Potatoes halved if large
  • 2 Eggs
  • 150 g Green Beans trimmed
  • 120 g Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1 Little Gem Lettuce roughly chopped
  • 80 g Black Olives pitted
  • 160 g Tuna drained (canned in olive oil or brine)
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Sea Salt adjust to taste
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  • Boil the new potatoes in salted water for 10–12 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a separate saucepan, place the eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 7 minutes. Transfer to cold water to stop cooking, then peel and halve.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until just tender, then rinse under cold water to retain their colour.
  • In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, olives, cooked potatoes, and green beans.
  • Flake the tuna over the salad and arrange the egg halves and anchovy fillets (if using) on top.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently.
