Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Put the halved new potatoes in a pan of boiling water, then boil for 8 mins until almost tender. Add the green beans for the final 2 minutes before draining well. Toss with 2/3rds of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool.
Step 2
Drain the tinned tuna and mix with the chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle on the remaining olive oil. Combine with the cooked potatoes and beans.
Step 3
If you are serving your salad with a soft boiled egg, gently place 4 eggs into a pan of boiling water and set a timer for 5 minutes. When the timer sounds, drain carefully and peel the eggs under running water. Distribute the salad between four plates. Place an egg on top and cut just before you serve. Season the yolk and watch it perfectly drizzle into and dress the salad.
