Ingredients

  • 2 tins tuna in spring water (145g each), drained
  • 4 eggs
  • 200g green beans, trimmed
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 50g black olives
  • 4 cups mixed salad leaves
  • For the dressing: 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, salt and pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add eggs and cook for 7 minutes for soft-boiled. Transfer to cold water, peel, and halve.

  2. 2

    Blanch green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and refresh in cold water.

  3. 3

    Whisk together dressing ingredients.

  4. 4

    Arrange salad leaves on two plates. Top with green beans, cherry tomatoes, olives, and tuna.

  5. 5

    Place egg halves on top and drizzle with dressing.

Tip: Use tuna in olive oil for a richer flavour — adds around 40 kcal per serving.
