  • 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, cut into half
  • 425 g can tuna in spring water, drained
  • 1 /2 Spanish onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 /4 cup small black olives

  1. Arrange drained lettuce on 4 plates
  2. Divide remaining ingredients over each plate


Tips & Hints

  1. Never microwave eggs in shells. Steam builds up too quickly inside and eggs are likely to explode.

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard (optional)
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
