Healthy salad Niçoise recipe

Ingredients

  • 200g new potato, thickly sliced
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 100g green bean, trimmed
  • 1 romaine lettuce heart, leaves separated and washed
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 anchovies in olive oil, drained well
  • 197g can tuna steak in spring water, drained
  • 2 tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise

Method

  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and the eggs, and cook for 7 mins. Scoop the eggs out of the pan, tip in the green beans and cook for a further 4 mins. Drain the potatoes, beans and eggs in a colander under cold running water until cool. Leave to dry.

  • Peel the eggs and cut into quarters. Arrange the lettuce leaves in 2 shallow bowls. Scatter over the beans, potatoes, tomatoes and egg quarters. Pat the anchovies with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil and place on top.

  • Flake the tuna into chunks and scatter over the salad. Mix the mayonnaise and 1 tbsp cold water in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
