Method

  1. Put the potatoes in a pan of boiling water, bring back to the boil and simmer for 8-10 minutes until tender.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the pesto and oil to make a dressing. Halve the tomatoes, drain and flake the tuna. Add the beans to the potatoes for the last 3 minutes of cooking time.
  3. Drain the potatoes and beans and tip into a salad bowl. Stir in the spinach so that it wilts a little in the warmth from the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes and tuna on top, drizzle with the pesto and gently toss everything together.

    Really healthy meal yet felt nice a full after! I added a little feta cheese to give it another taste (as the partner doesn't eat tomatoes) and also some red onion. Perfect for a summer lunch or with a BBQ. I would certainly make this again, and some time soon!

    So easy and quick and is perfect for both lunch or dinner. I added sundried tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes that works perfectly with the pesto

    Use fresh tuna. Ad it just prior to the spinach. The tuna must keep its red color

    A little disappointed with this one.. Didn't have spinach so used mixed baby leaves. Not a big hit!

    The pesto and tuna combination worked surprisingly well - I didn't have spinach, so used rocket instead, and added avacado and boiled egg which worked beautifully - tasted delicious cold the next day too!
