Ingredients

  • Potatoes (450 g)
  • Olive Oil (30 ml)
  • Eggs (4)
  • Red Wine Vinegar (15 ml)
  • Capers (30 g)
  • Sunflower Oil (50 g)
  • Red Onion (½)
  • Spinach (100 g)
  • Tuna (400 g)

Instructions

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6). Combine 450g of potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season to taste. Spread them out on a large baking tray and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
  2. While the potatoes are roasting, place 4 eggs in a small saucepan filled with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness. After cooking, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool, then peel and cut them in half.
  3. In a large salad bowl, mix 50g of sunflower oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of capers, and chopped tomatoes. Season the mixture, then add ½ of a red onion, 100g of spinach, 400g of tuna, and the roasted potatoes. Toss everything gently to combine.
  4. Top the salad with the halved eggs and serve immediately.
