Method

Step 1

Put the potatoes in a large pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Add the beans and cook for 4 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the beans are cooked but still firm. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 2

Meanwhile, put all the dressing ingredients in a clean jar. Seal with a tight-fitting lid and shake until combined. Drizzle half the dressing over the potatoes and beans and toss to combine. Add the lettuce to the bowl and toss again to coat.

Step 3

Arrange the dressed salad on a serving platter or in a large salad bowl, then top with the tuna, capers and olives. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.

Recipe tips

If you don't have tuna, you can swap it out for any kind of tinned fish.
You could swap the herbes de Provence for any dried herbs.
You could also use sweet potatoes instead of new potatoes.
