Ingredients for 2 portions

Method

  1. Use 400 g plain ready-cooked peeled potatoes and two hard-boiled eggs (100 g without shells), both cooked and fully cooled in advance; boiling and cooling them from raw adds at least 35–45 minutes. Drain 140 g canned tuna in water.
  2. Cube the potatoes and tomato, dice 120 g bell pepper and 50 g onion, halve 45 g pitted olives, and quarter the eggs. Mix potatoes, tomato, pepper, onion, olives and tuna in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk 25 g olive oil with 2 g sweet paprika, 3 g salt and 1 g black pepper. Toss the dressing through the salad gently, then arrange the egg pieces on top.
  4. Serve immediately at a cool or room temperature. If preparing ahead, refrigerate promptly and keep chilled until serving.
