Tuna Niçoise Salad

This classic mixed salad is traditionally made with boiled new/ salad potatoes, tomatoes, boiled eggs, tuna, lettuce, green beans and black olives served with an olive oil and mustard dressing.

Of course, there are many variants, this is my simple low-carb, go-to. Hope you enjoy it!

What you'll need

Enough for however many you're feeding, I cook for 2.

• Crispy lettuce, Kos or romaine
• Green beans, 2 handfuls
• Tomatoes, half a punnet Cherry Toms
• Black olives, a handful
• Tin of tuna
• Eggs, 2 per person

For the dressing

• Olive oil, 4-5 tbsp
• Red wine vinegar, 1-2 tbsp
• Dijon mustard, 1 tsp
• Salt & pepper, to taste

What to do

1. Boil the eggs and cook the green beans - both take about 6-7 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, mix up the dressing in a jar or small bowl: 4 -5 tbsps olive oil, 1-2 tbsp red or white wine vinegar, 1 tsp dijon mustard. Season to taste.

3. Start layering up the ingredients on a serving plate. It doesn't really matter the order but here's how I do mine... Lettuce, tomatoes and black olives first. Then, once the beans are cooked, they go on. Then the tuna, then the eggs and a good drizzle of dressing... it's ready!
