Warm Niçoise-Style Salad

A twist on a classic. Tinned tuna, boiled new potatoes, green beans, and cherry tomatoes, served warm with a mustard dressing. It's substantial, satisfying, and far from a sad desk salad.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

• 150g new potatoes, halved
• 100g green beans, trimmed
• 1 x 145g tin of tuna in spring water, drained
• 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
• A handful of black olives (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper

Method:

1. Boil the potatoes until tender, adding the green beans for the last 3 minutes. Drain well.
2. Whisk the oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
3. Toss the warm potatoes and beans with the dressing. Flake the tuna over the top and scatter with tomatoes and olives.

Why it's gut-friendly: Tuna provides omega-3s. Potatoes and green beans add fibre. Olive oil is anti-inflammatory.
