Method
- Get ready: cut the tomatoes into wedges, wash and dry the lettuce, and slice the potatoes. Drain the tuna and chop the chives.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil over high heat (about 5 min). Carefully add 2 eggs and cook over medium heat for 9 min, until completely set.
- While the eggs cook, bring another pan of water to the boil over high heat (about 5 min), add the frozen beans and cook for 4 min, until tender but still crunchy.
- Move the beans and eggs to cold water for 3–5 min. Peel the eggs and cut them in half.
- For the dressing, mix 15 g olive oil (1.5 tbsp) with the lemon juice, pepper and a little salt.
- Arrange the lettuce, potatoes, beans, tomatoes, tuna and egg halves on plates. Just before eating, pour over the dressing and sprinkle with chives.
Tips
- Boil the potatoes and eggs the night before – the salad comes together in 5 min.
- Mix the dressing (oil and lemon juice) separately and pour it over just before eating.
- Want it lighter? Half the potatoes, more lettuce.
