Ingredients

  • 500g Charlotte or baby potatoes, halved
  • spray oil
  • 250g green beans
  • 4 large eggs (we used Clarence Court Burford Browns)
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 little gem lettuce, shredded
  • 2 x 160g tins tuna in spring water, drained
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • a large handful kalamata olives, pitted
  • finely chopped to make 3 tbsp chives

DRESSING

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp runny honey
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cook the potatoes in a large pan of lightly salted water until just cooked, then drain well. Tip into a bowl with some seasoning, spray with the oil and toss until well coated. Tip onto a non-stick baking tray and roast for 30 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden.

  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and blanch the green beans for 2 minutes until tender. Scoop out and run under cold water until completely cold. In the same pan, carefully lower in the eggs and simmer for 6 minutes 30 seconds, then drain and run under cold water until cold. Peel and halve.

  • STEP 3

    To make the dressing, whisk together all of the ingredients with some seasoning and 1 tbsp of water.

  • STEP 4

    Arrange the potatoes, eggs, beans, red onion, cherry tomatoes and lettuce in shallow bowls, topping with the tuna. Scatter over the capers, olives and a sprinkling of chives. Drizzle over the dressing to serve.
