Method

  1. Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes, until tender. Meanwhile, make the dressing.Whisk the oil, lemon juice, chilli powder and garlic in a bowl big enough to take all the salad. Tip in the cannellini beans, onion and parsley.
  2. Drain the potatoes and when cool enough to handle cut them in half lengthways. Now gently stir the potatoes into the salad and flake in the tuna. Pile on to a bed of salad leaves, drizzled with a little extra olive oil.

    This is really simple but tasty - I find the chopped garlic in the dressing makes all the difference to the flavour.

    It is perfect for lunch with a friend. So easy, looked fantastic and tasted great too. I didn't serve with potaoes just some warm crusty bread on the side. Brilliant!

    Forgot to mention - i actually used butter beans and red kidney beans instead of cannellini beans as that was what was in my storecupboard!

    Lovely versatile recipe for a midweek lunch which can easily be adapted to use up leftover veg. I added avocado and celery to mine which worked well.

    So easy and delicious to make, I usually uses black eyed beans instead of cannellini, and add green beans. Great for trying to include your 5 a day.
