Warm Tuna Nicoise Salad Recipe with Ruby & Kind

I was swanning in the South of France last week, so my thoughts have been turning to lighter meals with a summer twist, and luckily for me local farm store Ruby & Kind have got the perfect recipe for an easy summer meal with their warm tuna Nicoise salad recipe.

You will need…

200g tuna steak

100g green beans

250g new potatoes

1 small red onion

1 plum tomato

100g olives

1 egg

Here’s what to do…

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add a pinch of salt. Gently place the egg in the water and boil for 5 minutes before running under cold water and carefully removing the shell.

3. Cut the potatoes in half, add to the pan of boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes or until soft
