Tuna Niçoise Salad

This is one of my favourite meals and so quick and easy to make, great for lunches too! If you don't like tuna, switch to salmon and if you don't like eggs leave them out. Quantity: feeds 2 people and you will need 3 pans and a pestle and mortar. You can also lob in some olives, sun-dried tomatoes, potatoes, or anything you fancy really - you can't go wrong!

1x tin of tuna or fresh if feeling flush!
Green Beans
 2 - 4 cloves of fresh garlic (depends on your taste!)
2 tsps Dijon Mustard
6- 8 tbps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 tbps Balsamic Vinegar
Rock Salt & Pepper
Pinch of sugar
Gluten free pasta
Eggs (4 eggs for 2 people)

First, boil the kettle and fill the other 2 pans with cold water and place on the heat. Grab the pestle and mortar. Pop in a pinch of sugar, rock salt and pepper. Crush your garlic and use the pestle to make it into a paste in the mortar. Add the dijon mustard, balsamic and olive oil and mix. Have a taste and add more balsamic/garlic/dijon/olive oil, if needed. Once the kettle has boiled pour it into the pan for your pasta. I usually do my eggs for about 6 mins and green beans for about the same, but this is personal preference and also it depends on how quick your pasta cooks! So adjust your timings accordingly. Once cooked drain the pasta, add your mix, green beans, tuna and eggs and serve!
