- French beans, trimmed, halved and blanched
- 200g shelled peas, cooked
- 4tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1tbsp wholegrain mustard
- ½ clove garlic, crushed
- 1 bag mixed leaf salad
- Handful of garlic croutons
Method
- Mix together the tuna, French beans and peas.
- Whisk the olive oil, white wine vinegar, mustard and garlic until well emulsified, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the dressing into the bean mixture.
- Just before serving, fork the salad leaves into the bean mixture and divide between 4 serving dishes. To serve, sprinkle the top with croutons.
